Though after printing out the character in my profile pic, I did realize there's a lot of small detail that gets lost with FDM. Alas, though, small animals, a cat, and poor ventilation make resin printing a bad idea for me permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] BeardedGingerWonder@feddit.uk 1 point 7 months ago Honestly, I don't find it a ton of fun. I use mine so occasionally, you kind of forget how little post processing you do on an FDM print for the most part. Though I definitely see the advantage for minis especially if you're going to paint it afterwards. permalink fedilink source parent
