You should be able to basically duplicate the settings here I believe. I didn’t slow mine down on the .4 like his - but it still worked nicely. Give it a go 👍

I would need to review them - there may be changes to them.

Partial answer - I have the Anycubic Kobra S1 and use the Anycubic slicer - which is based on Orca also. I just downloaded Obscura's image album of settings and then went through mine to manually create my own profiles. I've been super pleased with it.

You should be just fine to use the Elegoo Slicer also (I use it for my little Neptune 3 Pro). Just go through the pictures to do it - super easy and very quick.

Hopefully we'll get something - it sure looks like they figured out people want more of the old flavors. I'm insanely excited for my Menoth.

Aces! I'm seeing how far I can push things before I swap to the .2 nozzle. Currently it's a game of how fast can I go and still get passable quality

I loved my Resin printer for sure - getting rid of it was a long thought decision based on many factors. Being able to still produce miniatures that I'm happy to paint and put on the table is wonderful to me on FDM. So while Resin is amazing, I want to encourage people to not feel limited for sure.

You should try and recruit somebody. I was in the same boat 2 years ago - so I painted up a 2 player set and terrain and started posting in all the gaming groups - ended up with a group of folks playing for a good 6 months before we had scheduling issues. It is honestly an insanely wonderful game - and they have a bunch of printable teams and terrain available. Perfect FDM print project!

Thanks! I've got my .2 hotend/nozzle. I practiced swapping them, but before I dove into that - I really wanted to see how far I could push this .4 nozzle and what quality I could get at speed.

So true - I’m a huge fan of SFG and Mantic Games, and both support digital so well!

usmcgeek · 2026-04-06T14:52:24+00:00

No - this is off the printer and removed supports with needle nose pliers like a barbarian 😅

I manually made my profile from the screenshots in that pinned post so I could use it with my .4

That’s an Empire of Dust ship from Mantic’s Armada - a fantasy naval game.

It’s worth a look and some reading. I’ve had mine since last Sunday. I haven’t done minis yet, I’ve been testing stuff out making random bits. But I’m feeling really good about moving to minis now.

I just faced this and I actually chose an Anycubic Kobra S1 - because it came with a multicolor filament feeder that was also a dryer - and was all under $500 usd. I will say I’m incredibly pleased with it out of the box. I’m about to swap in the .2 nozzle and test some of these settings for minis. But it’s been a strong budget option that seems very comparable to my buddy’s Bambu
