As someone who recently got into 3D printing: I hope Games Workshop gets fucked six ways from Sunday on the plastic front.
There are so many high quality miniature modelers out there and resin printers can easily compete with and even beat the level of detail of store-bought miniatures.
Out of curiosity: are there any good comparisons to compare the quality of models 3d printed vs original?
Don't know of a direct 1:1 comparison but you could check out https://www.myminifactory.com/tribes (they sell original models and not bootleg Warhammer copies, though).
This site https://cults3d.com/en/categories/game has some more direct Warhammer clones but for obvious reasons they can't name them as such so you get names like Chonky Bug. That ones has a gallery of printed and painted versions for example.
Neckbeardia also has a totally not 40k set of ''SciFi Gothic" models, among other sets of totally not based on that licensed IP from other genres. https://neckbeardia.co.uk/collections/sci-fi-gothic
Hahaha, I love this model's name.

Kromlech Bits of War has the same type of set-up https://bitsofwar.com/3-kromlech I think they're in Poland, so there are exchange rates and ship charges..
To add to this there are 1:1 Photogrammetry scans of alot of models but you will have to go on Telegram for that.
There used to be a lot more of direct Warhammer clones on Cults but Games Workshop will shut them down as soon as they find them, so you have to do weird conversions (Primaris Marines = Prime Beef) or just grab them before they're removed.
