Re: Best resin for miniatures
SF isn't really "flexible" per se, I'd guess it's just about as "flexible" as your standard plastic minis. It's still quite stiff, just not brittle. You may be a lot rougher on your minis than I am though

Re: Best resin for miniatures
Hi so what is your impression printing miniatures with FunToDo. Is it better than MakerJuice?

Re: Best resin for miniatures
Sorry for taking so long to reply, didn't see your post until yesterday. The FunToDo Industrial is much stronger than the Maker Juice. In thinker parts it is quite hard, while still remaining flexible in very thin pieces. In a very thin spot on one model I can bend it past 90 and it will not break, while a 1mm cylinder will snap at about 90. On parts just a few millimeters thick I can apply enough force trying to snap it that my fingers hurt. I haven't tried painting anything yet, but will be getting to that in the next few weeks and can let you know how that goes if you want. Over all, I would say it can much more punishment than an average person would subject their miniatures to, unless you have a habit of running yours over

Re: Best resin for miniatures
Hi everyone, I'm new to the forum and thought I would throw in my 2 cents.
I've had some mild success with MakerJuice SF for miniatures while setting up my printer. My prints came out with a bit of detail loss at .1mm layer height, so I would suggest going way lower, maybe a .02mm seems ok. but granted I'm still fine tuning exposure times.

Re: Best resin for miniatures
@minimaker: Sorry for not getting any photos up, I've been super busy lately, and Craig's prints are much higher quality than what I've been able to achieve anyway.
@Craig: Wow! Those look so good. What resolution are those at?

@minimaker and @mcguinnessdr
I missed the your replies, those prints were run at 50um xy and 38um z using the new Snow White resin. Both of the new blends are available for order now, web site indicates pre-order but stock should be arriving early next week. Feel free to pm or email with any questions.

Re: Best resin for miniatures
Hi Craig.
These impressions are really fantastic. I currently use Industrial blend without additions, but I have not gotten results like your samples.
This new resin actually looks very good.
It really is?
Thanks.
