The best 3D printer for a figurine designer?

[Dargonfly]

If this is what you want to print a FDM printer is not the right way too go imo. Also that file is broken.

Well, I know that a SLA printer would grant more detail; but the material simply isn't that durable as I would like. Also; I don't see any problems with the file when opened in Solidworks or Blender.

Regarding the quality of FDM printers;
This is another sample of a FDM printed figurine that I found on Thingiverse and I found it's quality rather doable for post-processing:

It looks like there are parts missing on the basket on her back.

Can you show the other print in better lighting? It's difficult to see the surface quality because it's over lit.
