2. Generate: Upload your image to Sloyd's Image-to-3D and select the "3D Printing" preset. This optimizes the mesh for physical output, ensuring a solid model.
3. Export: Download your model in formats like .STL, .OBJ, .GLB, or .PLY, ready for your 3D printer's slicing software.

Mastering the Print: Tips for Miniatures

After generating your 3D model, these tips will help ensure a successful print:

• Slicing Software: Prepare your model using popular slicers like Ultimaker Cura or PrusaSlicer (for FDM) or Chitubox (for resin).
• Print Settings:
  
  • Layer Height: Opt for low layer heights (e.g., 0.05mm for resin, 0.1mm for FDM) for fine detail.
  • Supports: Crucial for complex miniatures. Orient your model to minimize support scarring on visible areas.
  • Infill: A high infill (e.g., 100%) or solid fill for durability is recommended.
• Post-Processing: Carefully remove supports. For resin, cure your model. Light sanding, priming, and painting will bring your miniature to vibrant life.
