This is just a gripe post to be honest. I’ve been trying to find a good stockist of SLA resin here in the UK. Formlabs want a total of £134.13 for a litre of resin delivered to the UK from the European store. That is equal to 182 Euro or $204. If I lived in Washington (a state I had a Zip code handy for) it would have been $162 delivered from the US store. This really pees me off. Why am I paying $42 more to have a litre of resin sent to me from the European store? Is it being sent from the US to them first? I think it’s probably to do with Customs tax and the European Union, but why have a European store if we still have to pay the high tax, can’t it be manufactured in the EU?

Having researched prices and suppliers, and after being supplied with some MadeSolid resin with my printer that worked more reliably than the clear Formlabs resin I also got, it’s a sad fact that for the moment, I can’t afford to buy Form1 resin for my Form1 machine. I would if I could, but I’m not in a position to spend this much before I am ready to go commercial and before I can get the Formlabs resin to print as reliably as other makes. This makes me pretty sad, I’ve got a fabulous machine but can’t afford to run it how it’s supposed to be run.
I ended up buying two 500ml bottles of Makerjuice (1 black, 1 green) from a European company called iMakr.com, it cost me half the price of a litre of Formlabs resin. Ideally I need grey resin, but for half the price I’ll settle for another colour.

Sorry, needed a rant, would appreciate hearing other people’s opinions on this as I have a feeling I’m doing it wrong.
