Print instructions

  • These STLs are all rendered to print at 0.2mm layer height, including the first layer so 0.2 mm layer height is best.
  • I print with PLA. I've had some success with PLA/PHA but plain old PLA works better.
  • First layer calibration is important--if you print too close to the bed the bottom layer will be solid.
  • Supports are not needed.
  • I recommend doing a test print tiny one first.
  • Don't over-extrude.
  • Do **NOT** over-extrude.
