General
ok super slim chances here but it’s worth a shot, does anyone happen to have a resin printer and would be willing to help a guy out making some action figure heads at some point? (preferably in europe but a guy can’t be too picky)
i started learning 3d sculpting a few days ago with the hopes of making some custom heads for 1/6 scale figures (and possibly a doll or two) but after getting a couple price quotes from what few companies are available to me in ireland, it’s just prohibitively expensive to print em when it’s such small runs — only 1 or 2 heads per sculpt, for personal use, yknow. i was just wondering if, a little ways in the future, anyone might be able to help me get a few heads printed? i’d be able to offer actual money and/or art if someone would be interested in doing it as a sort of trade, plus shipping cost obvi.
i don’t have high hopes but i figure it’s worth asking, i know there’s a lot of creative and techy people on here so maybe someone can work a miracle for me lol

Maybe check for a subreddit that's 3D printing AND Ireland based?

Pity it needs to be resin. There’s a lot of libraries with Prusa printers. If you know someone going to University of Galway, they can print resin on request for students.
Sadly don't know anyone in University of Galway either. Believe me, I've been through all my contacts and contacts' contacts 😆
Thanks for trying anyway
