Best resin for miniatures
Hello, I am trying to decide what resin I should get to print miniatures for gaming. I need something that will bend without breaking, as there will be thin parts, such as swords. The miniatures will be handled a lot, and probably dropped a lot. I have been using maker juice sub g (not g+), which breaks too easily. Thank you for any help!

Re: Best resin for miniatures
Have you considered casting your models. That will be best of both worlds, in terms of details and strength.

Re: Best resin for miniatures
It would be too much work for what I'm trying to do.

Re: Best resin for miniatures
Could someone give me a comparison of sub g+ and fun to do standard? My last print had a sword that is about 1mm x 3mm, which broke very easily. I need pieces of this size to be able to withstand bring handled regularly. Any info is very much appreciated!

Re: Best resin for miniatures
Unfortunately, I've only ever used MakerJuice G+, so I can't give you a comparison of resins... but I can give your topic a bump!

Re: Best resin for miniatures
Have you used G+ for this kind of thing? If you could give me an idea of how strong a sword of the size I described is, I would be very grateful.

Re: Best resin for miniatures
I made a few minis with Makerjuice SF, which has a bit of give to it (SF stands for Snap Fit, I think). It seems OK so far, but I'm not very rough on them.

Re: Best resin for miniatures
Thanks. I'm not sure how well paint would hold up on flexible models. Anyway, I bought the FunToDo Industrial blend, so I'll see how that works. I'll post back here with my findings, incase anyone else is interested.
