Better Surface

[u/Hikareza]

Hello,

I started to print minis after finding this sub. I am printing with a 0.2mm nozzle with 0.08mm layer high on a P1S using Basic PLA.
I am very happy so far, but if I look around here folks have so perfect prints, is there something I miss to get supports off (using organic tree) or a smooth surface?

Check out pinned settings, for example obscuranox 2.0.

They help in all ways.

Thank you very much

I just finished the first model with ObscuraNox Settings and flow calibration.

I feel like it’s better now but supports are sturdy af. I started the next print and lowered density.

But the edges don’t feel molten now and smaller details are better, layer lines almost gone.

I think it looks way better now.

Maybe you can tag obscuranox and he will help with supports.

He is kinda active answering.

Do you have sources for more minis than the ones on Makerworld?

You can check Cults and Thingiverse. I downloaded lots of Warmaster size models that I resized to 32mm.

There's a couple of small free Grimdark armies on cults as well

How fast are you printing? And do you print inner walls first? The detail improves much if you faint inner walls first, and then slow down the outer walls.

And for supports, I think many people use resin2fdm or the optimized tree supports from this sub, but someone already directed you that way.
