How many hours on those A1minis?

Been a while since the A1mini was declared the king of FDM mini printers and I am just curious how many hours you guys have on yours. I am rapidly approaching 9000 hours on mine and the quality has remained pretty good!

Mangler Squigs was a fun FDM challenge

Love the way this guy turned out! The detail is amazing though I’ll admit, I was nervous about how sturdy it would be, but I’m very pleased!

Printed on an A1mini with Esun PLA+ using FDG’s print profile with a 0.2mm nozzle.

FDM Eater of Worlds

This angry boi has been a fun project for the last week or so. So stoked with how he turned out, but before painting, I’m definitely going to need to fill some gaps and clean up a few areas.

The terminator problem

Hey guys. I am trying to print some terminator torsos and I’m running into an issue. Orientation is tough. It I rotate it back, the Aquila prints great but the vents in the back are really rough. And it I angle it forward, the opposite happens. Can anyone share some tips for overcoming this?

FDM Be’lakor

Came out so amazing I had to share. I’ve been working on a long printing and painting job so I havnt been able to post anything in a while. So here you go guys! I decided to keep the soldier off the base so it’s not from one game or the other.

Anyone else print this guy with FDM? That sword was a real challenge on the support removal.

Best proxy armies

I recently finished printing up my Dredge Guard army by Mezgike and it got me thinking. What other amazing full proxy armies are out there? I obviously know about one page rules stuff, but what else?

Basically the title. I am considering an upgrade and I’d likely get rid of the A1mini because I don’t really have space for two printers. I assume the print quality for miniatures will be the same but I’m not sure. I’m pretty sure I remember back in the day when I got it people were saying that it was better at the super small details for some reason. I’d love any insight from former A1mini owners who upgraded
