Sounds like FDM is your thing then.
FDM is good for larger more durable parts like brackets, cases etc. SLA is for delicate detailed small parts.
FDM/filament is odourless if you stick to PLA and PETG. ABS smells and is tough to print on cheap printers anyway.
Loads of introductions to 3d printing available that explain the pros and cons of FDM/SLA and filament choices.
Look at the Anycubic Mega. I've got a mega S. I've modded it a fair bit but it was very capable out of the box.

Thanks will look it up.
The gnome army is partly a joke. Guy I know has a Creality or some such. I just don’t want to buy a machine that wastes more than it makes.
Ideally I’ll make small parts and adapters for the bike. For example the satnav/phone holder for the motorbike.
I’d be sharing it with mum, apparently resin isn’t suitable for her. Filament rather than resin, any difference in smell/nose pollution?
