Small Prints

You’ll have better luck with an SLA resin printer. These printers can typically achieve greater detail than FDM (extrusion based) systems.

I can do this in wax if you like. My hud is called Mark

TangibleCR · 2015-06-22T18:53:07.000Z

you definitely want it 3D printed?

SLA is the way to go with high resolution small prints

Hey @ken_13, this is a heads up I moderated your website out. Would you link to your Hub profile as means of contact moving forward? Thanks!

You could also try micro engraving or laser engraving. That is if plastic material not your only option.

My suggestion would be too use an SLA printer like the Form 1 or 1+ to test and if youre not getting the detail you want then engrave the letters using a laser cutter.

TangibleCR · 2015-06-22T20:46:11.000Z

I could engrave it with a laser cutter if you would want that.

TangibleCR · 2015-06-22T20:48:00.000Z

message me if you would want it laser engraved.

Yup. SLA is the way to go. Or DLP, which amounts to the same thing.

Cheers!

I have an SLA Form1+ and would be glad to print that. I can assure you the quality will be very detailed even at that small size of model. Currently have black, white, and gray resin.

Located in NY. Guessing the print will cost around $12.

You can laser engrave plastic. It works nicely with 3D prints as long as you don’t burn them.

try and print it with the text in the z orientation

AGPrototypes · 2015-06-23T21:24:17.000Z

Our Envisiontec Perfactory may be able to. We’re in the UK though. You may find one more local.

with form1 + we have make a human skull of hight 10 mm full detailed ( i mean skull stiches, tooth ,bones ) allfull detailed ,such details are very hard for every FDM printer the best solution is to print them in SLA machine

Georgeh1ll · 2015-06-24T16:33:19.000Z

Try an SLA machine like the form 1 and 1+. These can make tiny details. Try looking up smallest Marvin and you’ll find lots of small, detailed prints. Or you could try making it higher at the top as this might help the lettering a bit. Also try running at 10mm/s or close to that. That’s how I get detailed prints.
