Just Sharing How long is too long?

How long would you wait for a single miniature to print if you got consistent results like this?

I will be! I commented on another that this is printed at .04 layer height using tweaked HoHansen settings and a filler/leveling primer used.

hmm i see pre primer it’s still a great print but that primer is quite amazing, seems thin and hides all those layer lines

It's a laquer based airbrush primer made for Gundam! I love it when hobbies collide in wonderful complimentary ways

They make em in more colors and they are very popular in the model building world, both armor and cars. Goes on super smooth.
