I've begun printing more minis for TTRPG, and since i only have a cheap bedslinger that's what I'm using.
Normally I've just stuck with minis designed specifically for supportless FDM printing, but I wanted to try my hand at something else and went with this Minotaur
There's still a bit of post-processing before priming and painting, but I'm actually pretty happy with the quality, considering it was done on a $200 entry-level printer.
Printed in eSun PLA+ with a 0.2mm nozzle and 0.08mm layer height, it took just short of 9h to print it.
Damn, dude. I've been thinking about getting a 3D printer and was leaning towards resin because I heard it was better for minis, and I see how it's different, but these look perfectly fine and there's no fumes or toxic sludge to deal with. Since I mainly want it for printing household fixits and ease-of-use is a factor, being able to get back into tabletop gaming (and painting) as well is a very nice bonus. I feel pretty good about going with an FDM printer now, thanks for sharing!
I mean, they're definitely good enough for me but resin does give much better fine details. But I also mainly use my printer for functional prints, this is just a nice addition to its uses.
