25 Micron Prints on K8400

They are possible! On the left is a 50-micron print, on the right is 25, heights of 7cm and 6cm respectively. I didn’t get the scaling right for the later print (the 50-micron print was done a month ago) but it actually works a bit “less is more” in favor of emphasizing the increased detail. As for the subject matter, I found it on Thingiverse and I have a reputation as a dirty old man to uphold.


The 25-micron print could have been slower to reduce the layer misalignment, as it is it took about 8 hours. But look at areas like the cleavage to see the difference. And that’s the only reason you should be looking at the cleavage. :slight_smile:

Mmm, never let it be said that men just treat women’s bodies as objects…

That said, I’m a bit mystified on the choice of print if your intention is to demo 0.025 layers. Other than looking marginally smoother, there’s not much to say.

What about doing a 0.025 print of [color=#0000FF]this[/color]:


Though before you start, I should warn you that the 0.1 version you see took over 9 hours… :wink:

Good to know very small layers are possible - opens up the possibility of doing really small, detailed prints. Actually I wouldn’t mind having a crack at a half or quarter size version fo that box in a finer resolution.

Did you change many settings or stick with the Cura defaults?

Hey, you pursue your perfect love box, I’ll pursue mine. Judge not.
