Havent used these but I think they are popular
There is also a bunch of Patreons that do files. Be carefull for some of them are trying to make a quick buck and have realy low quality stuff (message me if you arent certain). My two favorite ones are The Makers Cult who does alot of high quality files, almost exclusively for 30/40k. They have a few projects running with loads of units available. Examples are the feudal guard, thunder warriors and dark mechanicum. The other one is Duncan Shadow Louca. His stuff is excellent most of the time but maybe not all good for 30/40k. Ive got a bunch of Nurgly demon files that are excellent.
Printers
Buy your printer either from a domestic mailorder company so that you can enjoy warranty laws etc. Amazon should also be okay because they have customer care and you can get refunds if something goes bad. There are many brands of printers and models with new stuff coming out continously. Look on youtube for reviews and read articles.
Resin printers
Anycubic Photon (and Photon S)
Elegoo Mars (and Pro)
Phrozen Sonic Mini
Epax
Filament printers
Ender 3 (and pro)
Prusa i3 MK3
Resin and FEP
I buy all my resin from Amazon. Prices are okay and shipping is usualy spot on (compared to china). I also buy FEP from Amazon as it needs to be changed every now and then.
