#Looking for Creality K1 Max Profile for Miniatures/DnD figures
1 messages · Page 1 of 1 (latest)
Most people get a K1 Max so they are able to print full helmets in 1 go and such, for miniatures like figures to play D&D it is not realy suited, if you want to prinlt 80mm figures and such, you need a SLA printer, or the cheaper LCD printer. you kinda pull the figures out of a liquid with those, they are designed for small detailed work. an FDM printer is not. those are fine for 20-25cm figures and biggeri sugest you get yourself an SLA for the small D&D figures and what not they ell them from 150 dollars or so
like the Anycubic Photon Mono X2. Anycubic has them on sale for $135- $159 atm, they were like $420 or so
don't mess about with FDM for the small stuff, you'll be utterly disapointed.
I actually bought a Resin printer which was a Elegoo Saturn 3 12K that i wanted to use for printing really nice and detailed figures for for example DnD And such. but the problem was that when i started with it and did the tuning to get it to print correctly the smell got way to much for me and my wife complained ALOT, and in general happy wife happy life so i had to sell it ! I have printed DnD Figures and such with the K1 Max now and have gotten ok results but i wanna see if i can improve the printing to a better result depsite of it being a FDM Printer and not an Resin printer.
i also have a modified Creality Ender 3 S1 Plus with a Creality Sonic Pad attached to it ( Its creality's version with their dumbed down version of Klipper Firmware ).
but in short im very aware that FDM Printing is not the best for Miniature printing and such but i cant deal with the smell of having a Resin printer in the appartment, so FDM is the best i can have in the appartment without disturbing the wife's sense of smell and well beeing !
And i also had a Elegoo Mars Mate Air Purifier set up with the resin printer which took alot of the smell away but it got very bad once i took the lid of the printer to get what i 3D printed off the plate and such. but i didnt have any other options for Air circulation when it came to when i took the prints off the plate once the lid was taken off and couldnt relly on the Air Purifier.
You could try changing the layer height to .16 or less to see if that will fine tune some details. I honestly found that my FLSUN v400 did a fantastic job with miniatures and dnd
