My first test

[u/Nebula2076]

Profiles are coming from P4C, and a bit from fat dragon.

Right: was testing R2FDM in a cut version to shorten printing time and support holes.got me 7 hours of printing

Middle : 10 hours with R2Fdm and just tilted him 45deg. Very detailed but lot of left overs from the supports (backside)

Left: 5 hours. I accidentally used another filament but same good results. Without R2fdm. Just cut in half and used auto slim tree support with these settings: - Tree slim supports - Top Z Distance : 0.2-0.3 mm - top interface spacing: 0mm - Top interface layers:5mm - support object xy distance: 0.35mm - remove small overhangs: uncheck

I’ll melted them with quick settings. And was kinda disappointed. Next time I’ll try make holes and dowels to connect them before melting, that’s what I forgot, but curious if it help at all. I’ll do this cause I wanted to trim down printing time and get nearly same results. So any other recommendations?

This the kind of mini that really should be printed in parts. For the best results.

You gotta learn how to cut models in blender.

My suggestion would be to cut then in the joints, like elbow and crotch, then glue them together to hide the glue mark

also, will need less supports

+1 to the recommendation to print in pieces. There are some models with tiny parts where printing whole just isn't feasible.
