Comment on miniature figurines filament?

I’ve always heard that resin printing is best for miniatures, but if you’re happy with the 0.2 nozzle, I’d stick with PLA. CookieCAD and ProtoPasta both have fun colors. If you really want to branch out, ASA with acetone vapor smoothing could be something to try.

I really don’t want to deal with resin, I don’t have room for a proper safe workstation for it.

If you don’t have a safe space for resin you don’t have a space for printing ASA either.

FDM printing ABS/ASA is far easier and safer than resin printing since most CoreXY printers are enclosed these days. A simple fan and ether venting to the outside world or through activated charcoal air filters is a relatively simple procedure. Printers with all of that filtration are easily purchased these days. Even vapor smoothing can be done outdoors if it’s warm enough.
