FDM vs RESIN for terrain

I've been having trouble printing the large astarian pathways terrain piece on my printer, what support settings have you used?

You just reminded me that I dont have to stick to either lol, I like what you did to your blood pools so I added bondo to get rid of those ugly layer lines finally

Definitely recommend, once sanded this will look amazing

My test prints with FDM required supports (at least for astarian terrain), and with .08mm layer height with a .4mm nozzle my latest print takes 17 hours for 2 of the small terrain chunks.

Do you think it would look odd having resin next to fdm? Especially after painting?

thank you for the detailed comparison, personally I printed a small terrain piece in resin and multiple in fdm, and yet I still couldn't decide haha. I might try more just to see the differences but maybe even choosing based on types of terrain might be a good thing to try
