First of all thank you to the sub for having so many resources.

Printed them on a sovol sv08 with a lot of modifications.

0.2 mm nozzle

0.06 layers

eSun PLA+

The Night Lord was the first mini that came out presentable, then the two gunners after some tweak and I am really happy now with the grenade boy.

No big cleanup just removing supports and one pass with a lighter.

Going to paint them soon and retry some Chaos marines to see how all the fine adjustment translate to the spikey bits.

Just wanted to share

Hey everyone,

I honestly didnt want to make this post because there are more than enough 'Help me' posts out there but I dont know how to go on.

So recently a friend asked me to print him some minis for DnD and they came out okay and with some green stuff and color they looked nice (can provide pictures if there is interest).

After printing these I figured why not do some minis for myself. I always liked 40k and wanted to get into killteam. So now for the last few days I try to print Night lords minis but they never come out nice. If you know the NL they have a lot of fine details like chains with heads on them and flared out bat ears on their helmets. This did not work at all. Supports kept sticking and ripping of the finer details etc. Blobs and strings everywhere.

So i shifted to somewhat of a torture test (last picture), a part of a mechanicum guy with an antenna.

From my pictures you can see I just cant get it to work.

I loosely based my profile on a post here by a guy named MacGyver I think (cant find the post right now) and did my best as he uses BambuSlicer and I am on Orca.

I suspect my problem has to do with the Microswiss high flow hotend and having to much heat for these little features like the antenna. Also since switching from the profile I used before to this the flat part at the front has some scarring.

I mostly tried to play around with retraction lenght, retraction speed, temp, flow rate, pressure advance, etc. on the filament itself.

Maybe someone has some tipps or direction for me because at this point I would just grab a different profile from someone else and try from there again, but this feels like stabbing in the dark and not like making any progress.

Maybe its just my printer lacking precision or the cooling is not strong enough idk.

Printer:
(modified) Sovol SV08

• Microswiss HighFlow hotend
• 0.2 mm nozzle
• shroud/toolhead moddified to fit a Cartographer3D
• Installed non branded Klipper and Mainsail etc.
• some more things that shouldnt influence this

Filament

esun PLA+ Black

The filament is dryed 20h and the purgeline (picture) does not show any blobs so I assume it is dry.
