I printed this model on my Anycubic Kobra 2 in white PLA with 0.2mm layer height without supports, 3 walls and 7% adaptive cubic infill. Scaled it to 130% which was the largest I could fit on my bed (220x220), it took 8 hours to print.

I had some issues with curved overhangs (especially around the cheek bones) but otherwise it printed in pretty decent quality, not the best but acceptable I would say. I would probably add organic supports for the cheekbones if I print another.

    What is the purpose of the line printed around the skull but not touching the skull?

      Mostly purge and to make sure the bed is level. I don’t bother with it personally. I will use a brim on occasion is i’m printing something significantly taller than it is wide

      Mostly it just gives me a chance to change the z-offset before it starts printing the model. 9/10 times I don’t have to change anything though. I purge and prime the nozzle before this.

        Gotcha. So you watch the first layer go down and use this to see if it needs to be adjusted.
