I’m pretty excited to learn how to do mini painting.

Does anyone try to print on really small layer levels and is it worth the time it takes? I’m using a DLP so I shouldn’t have light bleed issues.

Really comes down to the fidelity of the model you're printing. If there's a lot of micro detail and you want that to be encapsulated in the final print it could be worth sacrificing time for. Highly reccomend just playing around with a few prints to form your own opinion, as that's half the fun of 3d printing!

BTW, those are looking good for a first print, congrats!
