Hi All,
I’m having issues printing small miniature parts, I added some pictures
The cubs/mocks are not being slices as a round parts, and therefore printer does not print the cubs/mocks fully round, but with holes.
could you give me some tips to resolve this?
also what are the best settings to have the best balanced settings between quality printing these miniature furniture but meanwhile printing quickly enough?
much appreciated for help

I take it you’ve already changed to a 0.2mm nozzle for these small prints? Even so, you’re asking a lot from an FDM printer to have these turn out well. Honestly, you’re better off investing in a resin printer if you’re going to print a lot of miniatures. Even my now 5 year old anycubic photon prints at 0.05mm layer height as it’s standard, with down to 0.01mm possible. They are much more capable of capturing every detail.
dear,
thank you for your feedback!
To speed up the prints I still use 0.4mm nozzle; otherwise it take to mutch time.
with 0.4mm FDM, do you think there are some slicer settings i should try?
kind regards,

I would split up the pieces into large and small so you can print the large pieces relatively quickly and then the smaller pieces at the highest resolution and slower. But there’s lots of small details and overhangs which still may not print well unless you use supports.
It’s better to take longer to print but end up with usable models, rather than print fast but have to redo some because of failure.
But like I said, I suggest investing in a resin printer if you’re going to be doing a lot of these (for a business or such) as they will print faster, at more detail.
High RMB, what do you mean with highest resolution?
Sorry, lowest layer height, which for 0.4mm nozzle is 0.08mm
can you one 1 build plate define 1 part in 0.08mm resolution while re test remains on 0.16?
If you print by object you can choose variable layer height for each object but I don’t think this is possible if printing by layer.
