🧵For why this took so long: Right after the hand prints, we had structural repairs done in my studio, so I had to box my printers up. Because of my health, I'm still slowly sorting that room out to make it a proper studio, and I currently have no ventilation for the resin.

I originally didn't want to use it, I wanted the smoothness and almost porcelain-like effect I can get from resin printing, and don't have the hand strength to sand filament down smooth properly.. but I decided I was done waiting, and did it anyway for the test print. it worked!

I also didn't realise how big this doll was gonna be (because I forget that this doll is gonna be half my height) so in the end,, the lighter weight of FDM printing is far more reasonable of an option!! So I decided I'm gonna do my best to make it work in filament instead
