UK-sourced, with resin + replacement FEP (I’ve not yet had to replace mine, but I spent £20 getting five replacement sheets just in case!) for £260 looks like a pretty decent price.

I bought my printer from seller anycubic3dcom – they have a red/green “official AnyCubic” badge on their items – who is currently selling the printer alone for £229 (https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ANYCUBIC-Photon-Photocuring-3D-Printer-Ultra-Precision-Off-line-Print-UV-Resin/153633269958 ) and the printer with resin for £279 (https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ANYCUBIC-SLA-Photocuring-Photon-3D-Printer-UV-Light-Cure-Off-line-500ml-Resin/153772035855 )

It’s substantially more than I paid in January, but I don’t think we’ll see those kind of prices returning for a good long while yet! These prices are not unreasonable in the current climate. Resin is noticeably more expensive at the minute. And good luck sourcing isopropyl alcohol! (I bought some glycerol alternative which is doing a pretty decent job, but I still rinse in the little bit of IPA I have left just to be sure).
