Visual details in prints?

[LackadaisyJackie]

So I'm having lots of fun sculpting out artistic detail in example with the provided images. That's just who I am.

My question is I wanna know what the average printer or even just print enjoyer like more, big sweeping details, or smaller filigree stuffs? And what kinda details in general do you like?

Id say modern FDM machines do pretty well with detail. Fine line text with a line with of 0.4mm shows up well if cut out to about .5mm deep. Extruded outwards it needs to be a bit wider.

So for sculpting organics, i think concave creases show up a bit sharper than convex ones, but all in all organic detail in the scale i see here will come out quite well.

I want one when its done.

In SLS and resin printers you can get pretty fine detail.

This is SLS that I gold leafed and cleared.
