Comment on Stumped - Improving fine detail prints with a .2mm nozzle?

Could it be your hot end dwelling over top of this section like a helicopter parent? My experience trying to print FDM minis for DnD (didn’t and still down own a resin printer) was small layer heights and lots of detail = lots of indirect heating that causes drooping, smearing, warping and lots of other fun stuff… i actually had better experience using a coarser layer height even if the final mini didn’t look as fine detailed. At least it didn’t look fucked up.

I don’t use Cura but my instinct would be trying a coarser layer height to see what happens. In prusa you can set a dynamic layer height depending on part geometry. Straight walled simple parts print really fast while it slows down and thins out layers around detailed areas. You can of course tweak the output yourself so you aren’t forced to use the dynamic z layer’s guess on where it needs to go thin.
