Resin and trays are expensive. Trays wear out after about 2 liters of use, so they are also considered consumables. If you wish to use the printers without sharing any resources (after authorization), then you would need to purchase a cartridge of resin ($150) and a tray ($150). If you choose that option, then you would purchase both of these items and insert and remove both items into the printer before each printing session and you would be responsible for storing your materials.
