They haven't caught on outside of R&D and industrial uses because they're maintenance nightmares.
Think of an inkjet printer that prints honey, and the honey hardens when exposed to light.
The maintenance, the bad chemicals your exposed to in the printing, curing, cleaning processes, etc.
They're nightmares, you would not want it in your home. Same reason I don't have a sla printer, not worth it.
The projet 3500 is the coolest printer in this space if you do want one. It's cool be a use the support material is paraffin wax, so to clean and cure the parts you just melt off the wax in a low temp oven and clean the parts in an ultrasonic cleaner with cooking oil in it.
