This episode tells you how to 3D print D&D miniatures on a $200 Ender 3 3D printer, including a full explanation of all key slicer settings and why they were chosen. Our upcoming part 2 of this video will cover finishing techniques to clean minis up for painting.
EDIT: The glass transition point of standard PLA is approximately 65˚, while the PLA+/Pro I mention in the video is higher (I didn't specify 'Pro' vs. 'Standard' in the video. Sorry!)
