I have been experimenting with Marvin last year and learned a few things:

  • the smaller the object the more important it is to have proper cooling
  • also very important is to set the right filament diameter, small flowrate errors can ruin the print at such a smale scale
  • use Tantillus calculator to calculate the right extrusion width and height, I couldn’t dream of such results before using it

I also don’t have a fan in the printer but beside it:
