There's a huge world of clone printers, aftermarket mainboards, hotends, extruders etc. that doesn't look like it's going away.

Some manufacturers may go closed but it's way too easy to build your own printer for it to be a big concern in the FDM world.

Resin on the other hand already has lots of custom slicers, firmware etc. probably because there's a lot less mechanics and a lot more screen. But I'm not sure of the future of consumer resin anyways, a lot of people are realizing how toxic that unlabelled Chinese product really is.

I had someone a while back arguing that FDM printers were hopelessly toxic and resin printers would be the only ones on the market within a year. Naturally, this was well over a year ago.

Resin printers have their uses, but man, they are a mess to use.
