@blinky465 I think a ready-to-print fileformat for 3D prints would definitely lower the barrier.
You’d still need a ‘raw’ format (or something similar) for people who want to change the model themselves.
Maybe a few basic parameters could be built into the file too ?
Example would a a miniature with a variety of poses and weapon options that could be set at the printer thereby reducing the need for programs like Cura by ‘normal’ users.

That still leaves a lot of prep and post-print cleanup though, but I suspect that there’s ways to fix that too.
The EPAX X1 is said to be calibrated at the factory already, which definitely will help a lot. I wouldn’t be surprised if auto-levelling became a feature for next-gen 3D resin printers of this type.
