Printer Artillery Genius. I've used Cura slicer, but any custom support setting will do👌.
After that i primed the model so any eventual imperfection disappeared.

Wait so what was the trick to save time and filament? Just rotating the part to use fewer supports?
Exactly🫵
For me skipping 1_2 hour of printing time is a win, and saving a bit of pla is not too bad either. Also, a print complely covered in supports could be quite a pain to clean.
Care to share the link for the Chibi Cthulhu?

Nice one, I should look into rotating models too.. But once opening the slicer, I just lost patience lol
These look so great! What do you do to prime them and clean them up like this?
Superglue+bakinsoda to close gaps and streight small parts (as the tentacles) > A light sanding > Car primer and wet sanding (standard first then 1200p) > repeat until it looks good enough 👌💫
btw. The lil Cthulu is aroud 3 inches.
