I wish someone could find such a holy grail for us.

In my research I’ve found that in this price range one may achieve ca. 1/8 of build volume of average FDM printer.

Personally, I’ve never used any resin printer myself, however, I’m really interested in the technology.

Prusa is in the process of gathering pre-orders for their own SLA printer, but niether the price nor build volume meet your border conditions. I own Prusa FDM printer and will recomend it wholehartedly, but their SLA model hasn’t been tested yet, so remains a bot of mistery.

From what I read/watch in many 3d printing blogs/vlogs etc. the Moai printers have good press, they are about to release a model with 200/200/225 mm print volume, but considering their current, much smaller printer costs ca. 1 400 USD (before taxes)…

…well, I guess we need to wait another year or two for the Chinese to produce CR 10 of SLA printing, and even then costs of raw materials will be significantly higher than any PLA.
