3D Printing: Cons to UV printing


The Question: I've been curious about the various UV/Laser printers in (or coming into)
market that use liquid resin. I've seen the samples of the fslaser.com/
Products/View/1, Form1, and the Carbon3D as examples. I like the specifications
of the quality that machines can put out. However, in my experience with FDM
printing, there almost always seems to be something not quite right about the
print.
So, what are some major maintenance considerations for these types of 3D
printing? Also, specifically, are supports and overhangs as much an issue in
these types of printers as with FDM/FFF?
Here are some things I consider major maintenance considerations in FDM:
 * Extruder Clogging
 * Build platform conditions (i.e. levelness, clean, type of tape, bubbles
 in tape)
 * Variances in material quality (i.e. diameter, purity, physical
 conditions)
 * Mechanics of the machine (i.e. belts, rods, gear teeth, etc.)
 * Build environment (i.e. ensuring steady temperature in the build
 environment, minimize draft)
I'm not necessarily looking for printer recommendations, more so technical
insight on the technology.
