could a resin printed fdm toolhead hold out long enough for minimal calibration and printing a new one? I have been considering getting a resin printer for miniatures friends have been requesting and it would be a way to get the parts needed to repair my fdm printers fully at home.

Standard resin becomes very weak at even low temperatures. There are special heat tolerant resins you can buy though.

thanks I'll look in to that

Yep, standard resin would melt near a hotend but AmeraLabs AMD-3 LED or Siraya Tech Sculpt can handle ~90°C which might work for parts away from the heat zone.

Propbably easier to just ask here for someone halfway close to print you a simple set in abs. Depending on your resin and printer part tolerances and material properties can be a bitch.
