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.

    I have switched out the fan duct and heat block (to use normal volcano) on mine as the only HW changes, and then I’ve flashed the main board with klipper. Using klipper has been a crazy step up in printing quality over the stock firmware because it gave me the control needed to do a proper tuning of my printer.
