3D printing detailed miniatures
E
I am looking for the best 3D printing option to produce highly detailed miniatures for a tabletop game. The parts range from 30 mm to 50 mm in height and include intricate details like facial expressions, armor, patterns, and fine textures. I’ve heard that resin printing is the go-to method for this application, but I’m not entirely sure which specific resin-based technology would be the best fit.
