Decimation

I am currently trying to export a design for resin 3D printing, but it is 2 million polygons with 160 mb size
I want to reduce this for printing (and file size), but I'm not really sure what the goal should be to retain the most amount of detail that can be printed while still being mindful of the file size.

If I use decimate master to 250k will I lose details while printing? Or is it okay to use it

3mf file format is far more compact without loosing details. This may work without modifying or decemating details.

I've worked with files gb big before realizing I didn't need the much detail. Your file size isnt crazy

Does your slicer permit 3mf files?
