I have some questions about 3d printing

Post by ekalbels9 » Thu Oct 15, 2020 1:13 pm

I always wanted to print my own action figures,but at college,my teacher brought a 3d printer and printed a sphere,and it had VERY ROUGH edges and textures,how do I manage to print something that has a smooth texture,like the usual plastic figures?

For nice, smooth figure prints you want a resin printer really. They’re a lot more expensive and the materials are toxic, so you’ll need an enclosure and ventilation system, as well as a safe way of disposing of the waste material. They’re nothing to be scared of but they do cost more money all round.
