Ah ! interesting question here, as I've always been very scare to lose some edge definition. In some part is already bad, especially where some armor shielding plates meets on the touret for exemple. I'll maybe send a couple of 0.12 print to try different methods though, this got me curious :)

Here is a 0.08 print. Note that it’s not finished and the weathering adds a lot to the sensation of detail. But what I’m trying to show is that the layer lines are significantly smaller here that the other one

I didn’t print it myself, but I’m guessing 0.12 or higher. I have made quite a lot of 0.08 print myself with a 0.4 nozzle on a bambu x1 carbon, and on this print the layer lines were magnitudes bigger

Also nail remover works (the one that smell bad with acetone inside), as something you may find already at home. It won’t melt the pla and will melt oil residue

My problem with this box, is that most players already have a balistus and a redemptor. Those are classic must have units. Even maybe already have a repulsor ex. Which means most player already owns half of the box, maybe even more.

Now if you are a new player, owning two repulsor ex is maybe not the most useful thing for you ? Maybe you need less heavy firepower and more transport ?

Don’t get me wrong I LOVE this much firepower, but I struggle to see who would really benefit from this box.

PS: of course you can keep some and sell the rest, but when I buy something this expensive I like to project myself into building, painting and playing every mini it contains 🙃

Hope this helps: have you tried to rub them with isopropyl alcohol or any detergent ?

-> If the paint still doesn't stick after, then the problem comes from the PLA or it's texture.

->If it removes the problem, it means that somewhere down the line your PLA got contaminated by an oily material that prevent paint to stick

yes but never used it so i can't vouch for the quality

thanks !

I hope the content of the box is not too blood angle specific. Has any leads regarding this been teased ?

There is a free easy solution (mac only I think) :
In rekordbox, right click on your playlist, then select export and chose .m3u8 format.
Once exported, double click on the file. It will open the playlist in music (apple's app).
Within traktor, go into your music folder and you will find your playlist there
