I have a Peopoly Moai SLA printer which is great for small detailed parts. I attached a couple of pics of test prints for my WPL truck. Note that these are just rough prints that have not been sanded, filled, etc.. For the tires, I used flexible resin (Photocentric UV Flexible). One thing about this particular flexible resin is it bends and flexes but hardly stretches. It feels and acts like rubber except for the stretching part. Stretch it even just a little and it will break which is why I'm still on the lookout for better flexible resin. Good thing tires don't need to stretch. I also have a FlashForge FDM printer which is better for large and durable printouts that don't require much detail.
