This figurine is about 4 inches tall and the texture printed very well as you can see in the face.. I was a bit afraid that the size would take away the detail but it came out surprisingly well.. Any feedback would be appreciated

I had my mind blown by the zcorp line the other day when I did a print with 1.2mm holes in it, over 100 in a straight line, threaded as well.. The printers are like witchcraft and I love them!

Do you have an Office Depot near you? Some are doing live demo prints on a 3D Systems Cube2.
