Cool, thanks for the heads up. That looks really good. Is it PLA? mind sharing the print settings used?

Interesting. I don't know anything about resin printing. I'll have to do some research. Thanks.

I used Carbon fiber PLA. As for durability, my mount has been holding up for 6 months now with no signs of breaking apart. PM me if you need some help making the mount.

Resin printers are expensive but 100x better than FDM. I’ve made production parts on resin printers to replace injection molded no problem, you could never do that with PLA.
