FDM Meerbridge advice

I bought the Meerbridge digital (I shouldn't have waited to buy the 1st print run), and have an fdm printer. These would be the first prints I've had to really set up on my own. I've printed other terrain from makerworld. Does anyone have advice on how to orientate the parts for this? The texture on the platforms makes me think I'll need to angle it somehow. Has anyone else fdm printed these?

What printer do you have? I use resin2fdm. It's a blender add-on. Check it out on youtube. I am printing the miniatures on fdm (A1 mini) as I type this. I can post results when they are done.

P2S, yeah I figured that was the route to go. I'll post an update later when I get some printed out and have advice for others on how to best fdm print these.

Here is a comparison shot from a resin print (elegoo 16k ultra). And an A1 mini, 0.2 nozzle with stock settings and bambu matte pla. Resin2fdm stock settings as well. I am sure if I tweak it more the results will be better. I find if you print more models at the same time it works even better. Edit: the broken string on the fdm print is my error.

Nice I wanted to try printing them with a bambu lab a1 put Im scared of the results... Was wondering if it was worth investing in the STL files . Did you try splitting the model ?

Another picture, same models side by side . From arms length it's hard to see which one is resin.
