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.

    I’ve always wanted to try dipping a fdm printed mini into some craft UV curing resin.

    In my imagination that makes everything better ;), but I’ve never gotten around to try

      probably about the same as like vapor smoothing abs with acetone. I think pla has solvents that work too but they’re much nastier
