Missing sub-category of "Resins" which is one of the two major consumables of 3D printing industry.

Description

Hello,

We have been working on starting an online store where we are going to sell 3D printers, related consumables and accessories.

If you may search on Internet (you may find one attached), you will notice that there are few types of 3D printing methods; the most popular/common one is FDM printing where filaments are used and the second one is SLA Printing (called "Resin Printing" as well) where UV RESIN is used as a printing consumable.
However, on the taxonomy tree, "filaments" exists as a sub-category of "3D Printer Accessories" but "resins" does not. In fact, "resin" is defined as a type and material (attribute) of filament but this is not correct. Filament and Resin are completely two different products/materials when it comes to 3D printing. And Resin is very curricial for the 3D Printing industry and obviously for an online store about 3D printing. If you may check any online store selling 3D Printing materials, you will notice that "Resin" is always one of the top level categories.

As a conclusion, there should be a "RESINS" sub-category under "3D Printer Accessories" and then, to me, "resin" should be removed from the filament attributes of "material" and "filament type".
Kind regards.
