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.
Easy way to skip print time and save pla

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.

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 👌💫
