I’m pretty excited to learn how to do mini painting.
Does anyone try to print on really small layer levels and is it worth the time it takes? I’m using a DLP so I shouldn’t have light bleed issues.

One thing I've found after printing on my Anycubic Photon Ultra for a while is that I rarely need the .010 - .040 layer heights. I do most of my figures for display, not gaming, and I just don't see that much distortion from layer lines, or difference when printing at different layer heights. Voxels are a much bigger issue IMO, and I spend a lot more time and effort in getting anti-aliasing set right.
Right now I want something with a higher resolution (the Ultra is only 720P IIRC) and better anti-aliasing -- even with it dialed in on Chitubox, I have to do some sanding and filling on smooth surfaces.
