It will be much easier with a resin printer but controlling for the microscopic pitch shift that would take place with any amount of shrinkage would probably necessitate a specialty printer.
I’m not sure how high the resolution is on resin printers, but the tip of a record stylus is maximum 0.001mm in diameter, here are the specs for records, it’s some pretty small grooves with very fine detail you need for something that’s passable.
In the 70s and 80s there were kids toys which played injection moulded plastic discs with a stylus that tracked the groove. I think you might be able to achieve something similar out of a printed record if it was spun fast enough but it wouldn’t sound great.
Excellent April’s fool joke, but man it would be sick if you could actually 3D print your own vinyls.
There was a hackaday where someone did that…but it was terrible audio quality from what I remember. Cool idea though.

To say nothing of the fine-tuned resin as well as the curing process. 🤯
so, a perfect vinyl reproduction then.
What kinda player you using then? Dont fuck your disks up if you care
Pretty sure a decent resin printer has enough resolution for a record. Not sure about durability though.
