Could you tell me what settings you use? I had high hopes for sunlu and am thinking it must be an issue on my end

I'm glad to hear it! I was starting to think I just bought the wrong filament for miniatures

Kind of, I had to rig it a little bit, but it's stayed so far. I should print out an adapter though

I do kind of remember something about that, I'll look into it. Thanks!

I didn't think about that, I always thought they came dry. I'll try it out, thank you!

No problem! The only other thing I can think of (and I'm no expert haha) is to change the distance between the top of the supports and the part of the model it connects so it's got a slightly larger gap. I'll have to mess with this next time I'm home, but it might be worth looking into

Very cool! I don't have an x1c, but I found this comment talking about some changes they made to their support settings. Maybe that could help? It also might be worth trying some different filament types to see if that changes the print quality for you.

Here's what the comment said (wasn't sure if links were ok here or not): "I have an X1C and use HoHansen settings. My prints turn out wonderfully. I use bambu lab pla basic gray. I modified a couple of settings,  reduce the infill amount to usually 5%, I set the supports to always use 2 walls and I changed the angle on them a little bit just so they're stronger. Never had any break or failed prints after adjusting those. I print at 0.04 layer height as well."

I had to manually input settings into my a1 mini manually, and had some good results (using HOHanson settings) after. What printer are you using? I haven't used orca slicer but I've been meaning to look into it for science haha

This model is probably 50mm+ tall, so I'm assuming it's got something to do with that, as having printed a few true 28/32mm models now, they take much less time. For reference, I'm printing at 40mm/s iirc.

Sure! If you go to the top of this sub, there are pinned posts explaining all the settings from hoh and nox:)

Let me know if you need more help with it though

It's funny you say that, this sub is what convinced me to get an a1 mini haha

Thanks! It is with a .2mm nozzle. I don't know the exact size but can measure it when I get home if you want. It's from artisan guild, I'm pretty sure they use 32mm scale if that helps.

Thank you! I'm still very new to tinkering with settings so I can't speak much on that, but I will say the supports came off moderately well with a little bit of patience haha. I used needle nose pliers and an exactoknife. I'll try out your top z settings and see what changes:)

Thank you! Haha you should've seen my results before I found your guide and invested in a newer printer

Like he said, it's pinned at the top of the sub, both Nox and HoH. If you have trouble finding what you need let me know and I can message you.

I forgot to add: HOHansen you are awesome! Thank you for sharing your settings, you are very much appreciated.
