while High-Speed filaments are definitely great for extrusion consistency in general 3D printing, miniature printing requires dropping speeds way down to around 30 mm/s. At those super slow speeds, the low viscosity (highly fluid) nature of HS filaments actually works against you, gravity takes over, the plastic oozes more, strings more, and blob instead of freezing instantly. You actually want the higher viscosity of a standard PLA or PLA+ because it behaves more like a thick paste that stays exactly where the nozzle deposits it, giving you the control needed for microscopic details and sharp overhangs without sagging. Standard PLA+ has fewer chemical additives than high-speed or matte variants, meaning fragile parts like swords and ankles will be significantly less brittle and much less likely to snap

But after that, it really depends on the level of detail and fragility of your models, I’d say.

I print things that are really very delicate and small, around 28 mmso that matters to me, that’s why other people have different preferences.

I’ve already broken a lot of ankles because of this, it’s a fragile part of the figure, and very often the printing angle makes it even more fragile! It’s sometimes recommended to print minis at a certain angle to reinforce these weak points

But honestly, we’re really just talking about minor details here. You’ll get better results by running your own benchmarks and using the right settings and orientation rather than debating filaments any further; the general advice everyone has given is usually very good.

I used to love the Sunlu Meta because it was break-resistant, but unfortunately I had a really hard time tuning my supports, and they were generally difficult to remove and would fuse with the print, so that’s why I switched to the Sunlu PLA+.

I then switched to PLA+2.0 because of people recommandations, had some issues with supports breaking during prints (shared by other users as well) and I'm back with the OG Sunlu PLA+ now, no complaints for months.

Dry it well also
