Have you had problems with durability or warping when shipping your dolls in hot weather? Iād love to start 3d printing my dolls but I saw people talk about those potentially being issues with PLA and it scared me offā¦ I thought it was basically impossible to 3d print high quality dolls without a resin printer but yours look amazing!
i have shipped several dolls during heat waves this summer, and haven't had any problems so far. i don't think it's impossible to get warping during shipping, but also a hundred other things could go wrong, and PLA is not the only material that can break, so i try to pack my dolls well and not worry about it too much. in the worst case scenario, at least the warped parts would be easy to reprint and replace.
i also used to think an fdm printer wouldn't work for dolls, but i've learned to live with the pros and cons of it, because i just don't have a workspace where i can handle resin. in the end, i make dolls for myself, because i find it fun. i like running a little shop on the side, but if i was making crafts primarily for money, i would Just Make Something Else. so if a potential customer is turned off by layer lines or the material in general, i'm alright with that.
