First FDM print
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.
