My first attempt at freehand. Is it good? No. But am I proud of it? No. But, will I keep trying and improve slowly over time, and eventually master this difficult technique? Also no. (lemmy.world)

Holy shit, that print job is insanely impressive. What are you using?

Elegoo Mars 3 Pro!

What's your print height, temperature, bed temp, and material? And what's your magical secret to get it to adhere without issues? The max I can get down to is 0.16mm and otherwise it just becomes a wispy mess if I go any thinner. You printing PLA?

Ah no this is resin! It prints at 0.05mm.

I used to print in FDM but switched to resin earlier this year. There's more chemicals faff with the resin and needing ventilation etc but you can print a plate full of these models in about four hours, wash and cure, and be done with it. I was printing a single model at a time on FDM and it took like six hours.

Wow.....that quality difference is fucking massive. 0.05mm is three times better than I'm able to do right now.
