Ethan Caldwell
Ethan Caldwell

Ethan Caldwell is a resin model builder and 3D printing specialist with over eight years of hands-on experience in scale automotive fabrication. He began working with SLA and DLP printers in 2016, focusing on 1/24 and 1/18 scale car models, and has since developed proprietary post-processing workflows for mirror-finish surfaces and color-matched panel painting. Before founding LS Resin Lab, Ethan spent three years as a production consultant for a UK-based miniature manufacturer, where he optimized resin curing protocols and support structures for complex automotive geometries. His work has been featured in Scale Auto Magazine and several international model-building exhibitions. Ethan holds a degree in Industrial Design from Coventry University and continues to test new resin formulations, printing techniques, and finishing methods on a daily basis. He writes to help fellow hobbyists avoid the common pitfalls he encountered early in his career.
