This was probably 2 or 3 years ago, but I had a .2mm nozzle and .08 layer height as well most likely.
My pla prints have always looked rough, no matter what tutorials or tweaking I do.
Comment on What is the level of detail possible for 1:72 figures with PLA?
cheeseisdisgusting@lemmy.sdf.org 8 months agoWhat nozzle and layer height were you printing with? I’ve printed a few minis with a 0.2mm nozzle and 0.08mm layer height and the results look much smoother than what you had…

Dude, that looks rough as hell compared to any resin print. I don’t get why some people just have to cope so hard over this, resin is just better for detail, it’s not a comment on your print skills or whatever.

Oh, I agree, resin prints are much more detailed. I just wanted to provide another point of reference for FDM mini prints, since the parent commenter’s FDM prints looked… rough.

Exactly this. I still use a 0.4 nozzle and the results are more than satisfactory.

These figures were all support-free designs by EC3D, and are a joy to print.
At 0.08mm layers, you can feel the lines with a fingernail, but can’t see the from more than a few cm away.
