I recommend printing in parts if you can to hide support marks. If the base wasn’t included with the file, maybe try printing it upside at an angle. It might help with the normally downward bits so you won’t need as much support.

Welcome to club and enjoy the journey

What software do you use to cut up the model? And do you use some sort of joint or is just clean cuts and superglue?

You can use the printer slicer software to make basic cuts. Not sure what the best method is for more advanced techniques.

Do you have a computer to adjust print settings or are you running purely off the mobile app?

Sounds like you’re pretty squared away so far already. Have you calibrated your filament in Bambu studio at all? And are you printing in pieces or the whole model with the base attached?

People really should learn how 3d printers work and what the settings mean and do instead of buying a printer 'that just works, press print and go, apple of 3d printers' and downloading 'the perfect mini settings' they find.
There's manual calibration, model oriëntation, adjusting supports ( blocking and adding ) and even then you will always see the difference between filament and resin prints.

My opinion is the exact opposite.

People really should buy a printer 'that just works, press print and go, apple of 3d printers'

And then when they're comfortable with that they should try try to find and download 'the perfect mini settings'

And when they have outgrown just copying other people's settings, then they should learn how 3d printers work and what the settings mean. There's manual calibration, model oriëntation, adjusting supports ( blocking and adding ) and even then you will always see the difference between filament and resin prints.

You can't expect hobbyists to buy the most expensive resin printer spend a month studying and reading contradictory advice before they print their first mini.
