FDM 3D printed DND mini

My second FDM mini, this is just the Paladin example from Hero Forge.

Nice result, what scale and nozzle diameter? Resin printing is too messy/gross for me and my fdm print attempts always seem too coarse

I've had decent success with 28-32mm scale minis with a 0.2mm nozzle. It still doesn't look good, but it's OK at a distance and good enough for my kids.

Thanks, I used a 0.2mm nozzle

I don't remember all of the settings but I followed this post (reddit link): https://www.reddit.com/r/FDMminiatures/comments/1i8gy70/fdm_miniatures_how_i_support_them_and_some_updates/

My advice consider cuting the base off, to allow supports easyer access, oh and put the supports at like 70% density. Fat dragon games has a settings file ive had great success with.

Only place i really struggle with FDM is 6-10mm infantry, even then ive manged it

Whole war Master army printed in FDM (there was like a 20% failure on them though)
