Is there a demand for 3D resin prints in RI?
I’m trying to see what the demand is for cosplay, sculptures and so on.

Idk, at this point I feel like everyone knows someone who has a 3d printer so there wouldn't be much demand for a commercial 3d printing business. Beyond that, there are already a handful of makerspaces and libraries in the state where people can use a 3d printer for whatever one-off thing they need.

If they are in the shape of guns, then sure

I’ll do cosplay guns but fuck outta here if you think I’m going to fabricate untraceables.=]

Depends on what you are printing honestly. I need a few custom pieces. Pm me if you want details. They are not large but complicated pieces.

Here’s two I’m currently sanding. Abe’s legs are printing right now.

Very nice casting. Do the pieces have to be solid. One piece I need made has chambers inside. Think the top of a walking stick. Solid has holes on the outside. Inside connecting these holes in different ways are tubes that connect the outer holes. Completely asymmetrical. 4 to 6 inches in length 2 in width one way 2.5 inches in width the other, depending on printer, i can take from 4 inches to 6. Ideally 6 I can send tech specs for it if we come closer to a deal. Shouldn't weigh more than a few ounces total. It is a walking stick cap btw not some top secret govt project.

I would need to model drain holes for the resin to pour out, but after capping them and sanding, I don’t believe it would be noticeable. I’d have to see the design.

Alright. Do you have an email we can discuss this over?

Sell them on Etsy; plenty of demand there. And it's international -- Australian, Canadian, German shoppers are all ransacking the internet and especially Etsy for this stuff now.
Most definitely going to make a site. I’m assuming there would be interest since it’s not a common thing here.
Edit: why are people downvoting you or I? Lol
