Paladin (with beer)

Decided to test the limits of the printer, and attempt to print a custom gaming miniature.  In this case, it is a paladin, wielding a sword and beer.  Resolution was set for 0.1mm, and there was a lot of support material, but overall I am happy with the quality.  The picture certainly highlights the roughness of the piece – there are a lot of visible texture, and I didn’t completely clean off the supports.  But from normal table distance, the piece reads rather well.  And with a coat of paint, I would consider it a low quality but certainly workable option.  Plus, the figure can be modified to match exactly the desired character.

Print time was not bad, at about 1 hour for the piece.  The model was created in DesktopHero3d.com, using one of their sample models.
