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.

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.

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

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.
