My first attempt at freehand. Is it good? No. But am I proud of it? No. But, will I keep trying and improve slowly over time, and eventually master this difficult technique? Also no. (lemmy.world)

What's your print height, temperature, bed temp, and material? And what's your magical secret to get it to adhere without issues? The max I can get down to is 0.16mm and otherwise it just becomes a wispy mess if I go any thinner. You printing PLA?

Ah no this is resin! It prints at 0.05mm.

I used to print in FDM but switched to resin earlier this year. There's more chemicals faff with the resin and needing ventilation etc but you can print a plate full of these models in about four hours, wash and cure, and be done with it. I was printing a single model at a time on FDM and it took like six hours.

Wow.....that quality difference is fucking massive. 0.05mm is three times better than I'm able to do right now.
