3D printing setups

I'm moving my game from DAZ to 3D printing ... other than trying to figure out how to 3D print DAZ Studio created characters. They are a mess when exported into Blender. I'm a rookie in the Blender arena, so trying to repair a DAZ model is a bit out of my league, yet. There is a 3D printing plugin for Blender, but even that cannot repair DAZ models. 

Someone mention Genesis 2 is a better choice for 3D printing. Anyone have experience with that?

    I haven't 3D printed anything yet.

    G2 comes with 3Dprint geograft parts.

    Well, it isn't a good photo, but this is a 95mm high 3d print of a V3 character with bikini straight from a liquid resin printer, an Anycubic 'Photon' (tiny bit of filler in the base). 

    Even the bikini ties and fingernails are visible. That's without any post processing after exporting the obj file apart from obj to stl conversion.

    Regards,

    Richard.

    looks really nice. It appears I need to stay away from G3 and higher for 3D printing. I have a G2 that I just sliced and wiull give it a go

    That is pretty nice. I keep thinking about getting a 3D printer, but then I think about it in the long run and can't see having a bunch of small figures everywhere and I can't sell any due to the DAZ eula, so i nix the idea, but the desire is still there.

    Ideally I would want to print larger figures and the painting would be the fun part since i used to paint small high elf and dark elf metal figures years ago.

    I know what you mean, but I bought the 3d printer to print my range of prototype fountain pens, a job it did well. I only tried the character printing as a 'What if... ?' experiment that came out nicely. It was only later I developed an allergy to the solid resin and had to stop with that type.
