I’ve begun printing more minis for TTRPG, and since i only have a cheap bedslinger that’s what I’m using.

Normally I’ve just stuck with minis designed specifically for supportless FDM printing, but I wanted to try my hand at something else and went with this Minotaur

fresh from the printer, supports all over

supports removed front

supports removed back

There’s still a bit of post-processing before priming and painting, but I’m actually pretty happy with the quality, considering it was done on a $200 entry-level printer.

Printed in eSun PLA+ with a 0.2mm nozzle and 0.08mm layer height, it took just short of 9h to print it.

    Looks great! You probably can get even better results with manually created supports.

      Yeah i probably could, there’s definitely some supports that were not needed that I could have avoided…but for fully auto-generated supports I think it did a pretty good job.
