[20 mm people]

I thank-you for your advise, I saw a method whereby you slice the figure in half in meshmisher and print the 2 half's then gluing them together. The detail shown on the 22 mm figures was astonishing.

how did you print those people I for the life of me cannot find the right settings for my ultimaker 2+

When i print them, the really filligrane parts are very blotted

 

Pictures please.  And show scale.  For some people "small" is the size of the robot.  For some people small is the size of a grain of rice.  For some people a grain of rice is large.

Very likely your part isn't getting a chance to cool so try printing at least 2 of it so that while it is printing the "copy" the "main" print has time to cool.  Here is an example of what I consider small but with a smaller nozzle you can go *much* smaller.  I printed these white people all at once so each one could cool - taking turns.

 

edit: Actually I think the person on the far left was printed by himself.  Is that what you mean by "blobby"?

Hi there, My name is Todd and I am a grade 4 to 7 Socials teach. For my grade 7 class I am having the students scan themselves in poses, fix the meshes in meshmixer then print themselves to be the people in their ancient civ. dioramas. I am printing with an Ultimaker 2+. The scale is pretty small 1:72 scale or around 15 to 20 mm in hieght. I have tried the .25 mm nozzel .005mm layer hieght, 100% fill and I have slowed the speed down to 70mm/s. I am getting questionable results and the quality of the prints sucks. Might any of my learned colleages have any suggestions as to how I can clean up these prints?
