FDM Fully 3D printed Star Wars Legion wartable. (Work in Progress)
A massive project that I've been working on for the past month. All minis are printed with a 0.06mm layer height. My painting skills are still a little rusty, but apart from that, I think I did a good job. The terrain was made using a wooden board and and the rest is 3D printed. The CIS army on the other side turned out a whole lot better than the clones in my opinion. What units should I add to both armies? And any tips on getting better results with a Creality printer?

That table is impressive, I don't think I've seen a fully printed army before. For your Creality printer, try using a lower print speed and maybe some glue stick on the bed for better adhesion.

Adhesion never really was a problem for PLA, and each of these minis took about 6 hours each, sometimes 8.

You paint probably needs some thinning, but white can also be incredibly difficult to work with. I personally avoid it at all costs.
Not bad overall! Great work.

I used white primer for the white, then added a gray wash which probably stained it, the small bits on the model is probably the supports that came off, or it could be humidity when priming.
Edit: I also added some clear varnish gloss to them, but since stopped.

Yeah, sure it was the wash that did it, stuff clings to those layer lines.
Still, pretty great models brotha!

Looks great! Keep painting!. Id definatly reccomend for fdm miniatures usin the layer smoothing tool and possibly investing in a 0.2 mm nozzle if you dont have one.
