Resin Printer Not From China? (feddit.ch)

Hi everyone. I'm looking into my first 3D printer and would like a resin one for the great detail it can produce. I'm looking for companies that make respected machines that aren't out of China. I know of Prusa but their resin printer is incredibly expensive for me and a beginner.

As a second note, I would love to support a USA company as a first choice if available and like the software and firmware to be open source. I'm happy to have found PrusaSlicer with UVtools so there's one less Chinese/semi proprietary/subscription based software.

It's important to note, here, that even if you buy a printer from an EU or US company.... .... it's much more likely they bought their parts from china.

    Inevitable, I think, if you go down through all the levels—aren't some basic electronic components made only in China these days?
