I printed this model on my Anycubic Kobra 2 in white PLA with 0.2mm layer height without supports, 3 walls and 7% adaptive cubic infill. Scaled it to 130% which was the largest I could fit on my bed (220x220), it took 8 hours to print.

I had some issues with curved overhangs (especially around the cheek bones) but otherwise it printed in pretty decent quality, not the best but acceptable I would say. I would probably add organic supports for the cheekbones if I print another.

Mostly it just gives me a chance to change the z-offset before it starts printing the model. 9/10 times I don't have to change anything though. I purge and prime the nozzle before this.

Gotcha. So you watch the first layer go down and use this to see if it needs to be adjusted.

It prints the skirt first, but yes.
