I'm going to try it out on a few items and see how it works out.

Well, I'd say that we have reached the point where printed miniatures can have a level of detail equal to that of cast ones.

Assuming, of course, that reality matches the given description.

Hi!

Interesting turn of events. It seems that predictions of getting high level "castings" within 5 years is coming true.

Bounding box is TINY (relative). I'll need to wait a whiles before I print in that until they can support larger models or i get something else I want that fits.

I may test this to see if the detail can match bronze for infantry models.
