A1 mini, Army painter glue for scale.

It's not even close to resin, but it gets the job done!

Tried to print this amazing sculpt.

I ended up printing it at 65% size, to minimise print times.

In retrospect, I think I should have waited.

I think it turned out pretty good considering the scale and the funny mistake I made when I scaled down the parts!

Benchy skely for scale.

Tried some OSL on some of my worst printed mini's.

Been a while since I painted, and these were perfect for experimenting.

I hope the surface will improve if I manage to dial in the settings.

Three different models, with broken supports at the same side every single time.

The support settings are not the same each run.

But the failure is the same...

What is going on..?

It was going very well until I started hearing loud thuds...

The nozzle was occasionally hitting parts of the model.

Bed adhesion was good, but at some point after at least 10 to 15 hits, the model detached itself from the bed...

The filament is calibrated, the nozzle zhop is at .6, and printing as well as acceleration is very slowed down, basically at HOHansen's 0.4 settings.

It's an A1 mini by the way.

I've had this problem on smaller miniatures, mainly on supports, but adjusting the z hop fixed it.

What could be causing this?

After following your suggestions, and printing with HOHansen's settings for the 0.4 mm nozzle, this is what I have.

I think it's getting there!

The banding on the cape, is almost invisible to the naked eye, but I'm certain it'll be fairly visible with some paint and a dry brush.

If anyone has more wisdom to share, please do!

Hey all!

I'm trying to identify this problem.

Is it under extrusion?

I did two cold pulls, I don't think I have a partial clog...

The filament is bambu lab basic and it went through the drier, so no moisture.

It was printed with ultra fine 0.08 default settings, 0.4 nozzle.

The printer (A1 mini) is a month old, with just a few prints.
