To slice an STL file for 3D-printed miniatures, use slicer software (e.g., PrusaSlicer, Cura, Lychee Slicer) to convert the STL into printer-readable G-code—this is the core step. Optimize key settings: Pick a fine layer height (0.05–0.15mm) to preserve small details, add minimal targeted supports (to avoid damaging delicate parts like limbs), and use low infill (10–20%) to save material without weakening the model. If you’re new, start with your slicer’s "miniature" or "high detail" presets—they streamline setup while keeping quality high.
