    my smallest print

    This is about as small as i can get my printer to go, any smaller and its messy.. Aussies will know the size judging from the coin, but the frog is just shy of 1cm long, printed at 0.1mm
    The toes printed fine, but I messed one up getting it off the heatbed, i was impatient

    While printing big things is impressive, it can take hours.. if you want to also test your machine, try printing super small, you soon know if you are calibrated and levelled.

    * Edit, further testing has given me a smaller frog than this photo! I managed to get it down to 8mm, need a better camera tho to take the photo, iphones not much good at native macro :/

    That looks pretty detailed for being so small. What printer setup are you using?
