The profiles below are the result of hundreds of hours of testing, failed prints, and relentless experimentation by some of the most dedicated people in the FDM miniatures community. Each one has been verified with real printed results.
These are the living legends who pushed FDM miniature printing forward. They spent countless hours testing nozzle sizes, layer heights, temperatures, retraction values, and support strategies — so you don't have to start from zero.
Pioneered ultra-fine 0.04mm profiles for BambuLab and Creality printers.
One of the first to publish open miniature profiles for both Bambu Studio and Cura.
Created the go-to Orca Slicer profiles with extensive changelog and community support.
Proved Creality CR PLA can deliver quality miniatures with the right tuning.
Refined SUNLU PLA 2.0+ settings with paint-ready surface quality.
Achieved remarkable detail at 0.04mm with stock BambuLab filament.
Made Ender printers viable for miniatures with accessible Cura profiles.
