I print figurines for D&D adventures with my kids, both monsters and player characters, I’ve also done a few scenery items and player trinkets. So far I’ve just used whatever PLA I had around, but was thinking that maybe there were some brands (or other filament) that are better for this type of thing? Preferably also easily paintable since they’ve started to want more than just plain solid colour.
I’m using a 0.2mm nozzle for these, and detail is actually pretty decent.
Hopefully some better answers otw, but pla painting is a little tricky. I can recommend using a non silk neutral pla, spraying with a plastic compatible primer coat and then painting with acrylics though. Have not perfected this, but it does work.
So far they’ve just used fine-point acrylic markers directly on the PLA, but it doesn’t quite cover properly. I’ll try the plastic primer 👍
