I like the fact that the finishing work is greatly reduced. Does that add a lot of time to the print? :)

Lets take your .15mm print - lets say we have an object thats 15cm high that's going to require about 1000 lines to print give or take a few

Now lets bump the layer height up to .25mm - now we only need 600 lines to print the same object.

Granted you lose a little quality on the finish but if you are planning on painting (or my suggestion for stuff that goes outside XTC-3D) then chances are you are going to smooth out the lines in post anyway.

Don't get me wrong I do print at low res but usually I am like Maverick in Top Gun - I feel the need ... the need for speed. Especially on large prints like this one.

Yeeps! That's like 67% longer! :shock:

(Really does make you appreciate a fine finish.....'specially on a larger print.)
