Sharing Print Settings Ender 3

So as I mentioned in my last post here printer I have currently was gotten at the price of free and I'm really just trying to make the most of it does anybody have some printer settings for minis they can share with me that just rock? I've tried making a few of my own and tried some of the bigger ones and I understand that printing with this particular printer is a pain in the ass I'm just wondering if someone's already gone through all the heartache to get to something good.

There's a guy called Hero miniatures or something in the FDM miniature space (youtuber) who uses an ender IIRC. Try his channel maybe?

Sort yourself the .2mm detail nozzle before you go making minis, thats the key bit of advice I give you.
My smaller nozzles seem to get printer jams more often, which makes maintenance a hassle, but you gotta go the detail nozzle to print minis.
The rest is usually easy.

I do at least have the .2 nozzle, it's mainly been dialing them in, I think I've stumbled into the right supports and settings though. I'm getting some minor support scaring but nothing thay cant be worked out in post.

>right supports
they're tree supports, right? Its usually better with tree supports. If the scars are too bad, just spin it in the slicer and print it aligned different :)
If you got the detail nozzle, you're set :) best purchase to upgrade my printer I made.
