What's the best way to preserve fine details on a game model when scaling it down for printing? Do you change print settings, use a different material, or modify the model itself?

Well, I’ve been fighting this exact problem for months with miniatures, especially faces and weapon edges turning into blobs at 28mm scale. After many failed prints, I learned that modifying the model itself gives the most control—I use Blender to exaggerate really fine grooves by 0.05–0.1mm so they don’t vanish. Adjusting print settings like lowering layer height to 0.02mm and slowing down exposure time helps, but material matters more than people think: standard grey resin keeps edges crisper than clear or flexible ones for tiny details. There’s no magic button, but combining a tweaked model with careful settings finally gave me clean results. https://www.gambody.com/premium actually has several pre-supported models where the designer already did that heavy lifting for you—I grabbed a few, and their presupported files saved me hours of trial and error. One more fact: switching to a 0.2mm nozzle instead of the usual 0.4mm doubled the visible detail on my test prints.
