• Layer Height: 0.05 mm
• Anti-aliasing: ON (level 2–4)
• Image Blur: OFF

(Lower layers are possible, but 0.05 mm is the sweet spot for speed + detail)

⏱️ EXPOSURE SETTINGS (LOW, BUT SAFE)

Normal Layers

• Exposure Time: 2.0 – 2.2 s
  (Start at 2.2 s — the flame needs slightly more curing than flat surfaces)

Bottom Layers

• Bottom Layers Count: 4
• Bottom Exposure Time: 20 s

🛠️ LIFT & SPEED

• Lift Distance: 5 mm
• Lift Speed: 80 mm/min
• Retract Speed: 150 mm/min

📐 ORIENTATION (CRITICAL FOR THIS MODEL)

• Tilt 35–40° backwards
• Slight left or right tilt (5–10°) to protect the flame
• Keep the flame pointing upward, never parallel to the build plate

This reduces:

• Suction on the robe
• Layer stress on the flame
• Support scars on the face

🧱 SUPPORT STRATEGY

Type: Medium + light mix

Medium supports

• Feet
• Base edge
• Lower robe folds

Light supports

• Flame tip and mid-sections
• Fingers
• Sleeve edge
• Chin (1–2 light supports, hidden underneath)

Support tip diameter

• Medium: 0.4 mm
• Light: 0.3 mm

🔥 FLAME-SPECIFIC NOTES

• The flame is a high-failure zone
• Do not underexpose below 2.0 s
• Add extra light supports along the flame spine
• Avoid heavy supports on the flame → scars are very visible

🧠 WHY THESE SETTINGS

• DLP allows short exposure, but thin effects need margin
• Slightly higher exposure than the Funko-style model
• Orientation protects the flame and the face simultaneously
• Low bottom layers avoid base deformation

⚠️ QUICK CALIBRATION TIP

If flame layers look soft:

• Increase exposure by +0.1 s

If details on the robe look bloated:

• Decrease exposure by –0.1 s

Do not touch bottom exposure unless adhesion fails.
