Has anyone done anything with 3D resin printers lately?

I'm just curious if anyone has printed any fountain pens or fountain pen parts lately in 3D resin? I saw this thread by @budnder but it's getting quite old...

3D Printed Pen Parts

I spend the last couple of weeks working on a "proof of concept" to see if a 3D resin printer could produce parts for kitless pens (section, section coupler, finial, finial coupler, and threaded cap end. I'm using a purchased nib (Bock #6), and a purchase clip (Triton). Just thought I'd share...

I'm looking to see how others have 3d resin printed the component parts (not the cap or barrel). I'd be interested to see your sections, connectors, centerbands, finials, clips, etc...

Thanks...

Check out Additive Pens for some wild pens made with 3D printing.

Very interesting looking. Love how you can see the mechanics through the cap. Makes be think this could be done with cast as well and could be a good market differentiater.

I've been getting into resin printing recently, and it's been a lot of fun! The detail you can achieve is really impressive, especially if you're into miniatures or custom pieces. Just a heads up, though—cleanup can be a bit of a hassle, but the end results make it worthwhile. I just finished a little figurine for a game I play, and I'm stoked about how it turned out.

Just finished printing a section for an Asvine nib unit. I was going to cut the section in ebonite, but the walls were too thin, so I guess I am stuck with ABS-Like resin.

Did you print the thread? If so, it looks good.
