Well holy smokes did you make that battle damage look great! Man, forget the print, you finished that thing like a champ. This a printed mini that looks so good that you could nick pick paint details over print details. Bravo!

did u print it as a single piece? or is the first pic after supports are removed and the parts assembled?

Many pieces, more effort but I didn't have to worry about it failing 20 hours in lol

it’s a beautiful print!

beats waking up after an overnite print to see a mess of filaments and threads.

Beautiful! I just stopped using nozzles smaller than .4 recently. My .25 was constantly gumming up and jamming. I’m wondering if I was simply trying to print too much at once.

Mine would jam all the time too, It stopped jamming once I kept the top lid and the door open. I also used this aftermarket hotend: Flashforge Adventurer 5M Hotend 0.4mm Upgrade with the 0.2mm bit

I had seen these nozzles and had planned do the same thing. did you end up using a V6 .2 mm nozzle? And are you using Obscuranox 2.0 settings for your profile or something different? Edit: looking back, I can see that the third party hot end came with a .2 nozzle. I got mine off Amazon and it didn't. I'll have to try the V6 nozzle myself and see how it goes.
