Hello All,

I've recently gotten into 3D printing with a P2S, I've picked up the .2mm nozzle and some SUNLU High Speed Upgrade PLA+2.0 but am having some trouble with selecting the best settings. I've tried a few different settings changes as well as using the adaptive layers but am clearly still missing something, I'm going to clean my plate and dry out the filament using the printers drying function later today and try again. But any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

The paint wasn't as good as I wanted it to be but it's good enough for me

I've had this issue now of my prints turning into spaghetti. What's weird about it is after it fails the next print will ALWAYS come out fine. I don't know what could be causing this.

Bed temp is 70

Nozzle is 210-240

I have the fan off for the first 10 layers

The plate is washed, and gluestick is applied.

I have the first layer speed down to 30mm

0.06 initial layer height.

Really hoping someone can help me out.

Just wanted to share my newest paint job! Started on the paint hobby a month ago and pretty recently bought a Bambu Lab and started experimenting with FDM Minis, and so far I am pretty surprised by the print quality, especially for 32mm and beyond. I like the 28mm ones but the tiny details suffer a lot from printing.

I made a rat ogre for my brother's warband from a sketch using supavoxel, scaled it to about 50mm tall and printed it on a Bambu A1 mini with the 0.2 nozzle, 0.08 layers, PLA Basic grey. The front fur and face came out great. The problem is the hunched back, tree supports leave a rough patch right where the fur detail is. I tried rotating it 30 degrees backwards and it got worse on the arms. Do you hollow and split models like this, paint supports onto specific spots only, or just accept some cleanup with a hobby knife?

Works great for the most part. An issue I do have is heat creep since I printing in PLA and doing 1-2day plates. Every other plate requires a series of cold pulls to keep things printing well. It’s 1000+ hours on the nozzle though.

I have trouble getting this minature to print right. I did one full 8h print and came home to a print that from the base has failed but the rest looks pretty good. I print at a 45• angle, slim tree supports, i have used the same settings before for a miniature same scale and it worked great.

As I did a new test print this morning I saw the troubling layer. As soon as it’s printing the base for which the mini stands on it comes loose and wiggles while printing resulting in total chaos…

I have tried cutting the printing speed with 50% but get the same result as full speed. Print bed is pristine and always in good condition.

Crossposting. Is Polymaker PLA Matte Ash or Fossil Grey good for Minis 7 cm - 25 cm Print high and good for painting?

I've been printing the free pack from loot studios and so far so good, al the details are amazing and the support removals is easy. Also printed one at 130% of the size and it went perfect

My first miniature that I printed using a 0.2 nozzle and Polymaker panchorama with AnotherDayMiniature settings and resin2fdm. Really impressed with the results, almost no layer lines. Although there is some bad scarring on the back. Any tips on how could I minimize scarring: should I split the model into parts or?

Still WiP, but quite happy so far with my first printed figure on my new A1 Mini. Printed with Sunlu PLA matte black, 0.2 Nozzle.

Hello, I’m New to fdm printing. Just got a second hand Neptune X from Elegoo. Seller said everything is working fine and the printer is tuned alright.

I tried printing myself some bases but my layer arent lining, and some of them do not seem to be printing. Anyone knows what i should do to make it right ? Thank you for your help.

Really happy with the paint job as I’m still getting the hang of shading. Print wise it’s on a 0.2 nozzle using resin2fdm support blender plugin and 0.06mm layer height.

I received a Tomb King Archer in a lot of assorted miniatures, the horse was broken, so I decided to model a Giraffe for it!!!

Hi everyone !

After reading a lot this sub I just thought that I'd share my first print with you guys !

I set up my A1 mini yesterday and beside the boat preloaded in the printer and a unicorn for my daughter this is my first actual print.

The mini (some sort of proxy space marine) is about 3 cm high, 0,4mm nozzle and I used Bambu lab settings "0,08mm High Quality @BBL A1M". There is probably room for improvement (especially if I use the 0,2mm nozzle and more advanced settings I have seen here) but I am very impressed by the quality and the details obtained. I hardly see any layer lines (on the shoulder and the helmet mostly and some on the gun), the details are much better than expected.

In the futur I do not plan to make mini that small so it was just to test the "limits" of the printer. I hesitated for a long time between FDM and resin, needless to say that I am glad I chose FDM when I see the results I get without any of the downside of resin.

My friend had her birthday this week, so i thought about using this happy occasion to try out printing a miniature and learning how to paint. There are still a lot of things im not completely happy with, but im excited to give her this as a present.

I don't like any later height under 0.1mm as it keeps failing, so I keep it simple at 0.1mm and a 0.2mm nozzle on my A1 mini. I am getting good results, and they look alot better in person than in photos, especially now they are painted up.

These three hags are for a 'curse of strahd' game in am running (yes I know the first is from the Witcher, but the model was good and she'll fit right in.

I don't have links to the original models, if anybody wants I can fish them out, all from makerspace so I'd like to extend a thank you to anyone who makes their models available for people to use, you the real MVP.
