Suggested Print Profile:
Material: Resin for exceptional detail and smooth finish; PLA for good detail and ease of printing, especially for larger prints
Layer Height: 0.04–0.12 mm for resin to capture fine details; 0.12–0.16 mm for FDM (PLA/PETG) for a balance of detail and print time
Infill: 10–20% for stability without excessive material use, sufficient for a display bust
Supports: Highly recommended for overhangs such as the chin, arms, helmet, and any intricate suit details. Tree supports can be effective for easier removal.
Orientation: Angle the bust slightly back (around 15-30 degrees) to minimize support contact points on prominent front-facing details, or print vertically with the back slightly tilted to reduce supports on the front.
Post-processing: Extensive post-processing (sanding, priming, painting) is recommended to highlight the intricate details of the space suit and helmet, achieving a professional finished look.
