| These need to be printed at 0.1mm layer height. I used a 0.3mm nozzle which proved to be sufficient, but you may wish to use a smaller nozzle to improve the fine detail. | These need to be printed at 0.1mm layer height.

| + | I've successfully printed these in ABS using a Solidoodle 2 Pro, and in black PETG using a Creality Ender 5 Pro. I recommend PETG as it is much less likely to warp, is more dimensionally accurate (less shrinkage), and in general prints better. | ||
