I'm looking for a 3D printing service that can handle both small detailed models and larger functional parts. Do you prefer using a single service for everything or different ones depending on the project?

I’ve been down this road myself, and I ended up splitting the work between two approaches because the tolerances are just so different. For the small, detailed models—especially game characters or props where every millimeter matters—I’ve had great luck using https://www.gambody.com/ as my starting point for the files themselves; their designers clearly build with resin printing in mind, so the supports and surface details translate perfectly. Then for the larger functional parts, I switch to a local service with industrial FDM machines that can handle engineering-grade filaments, since warping or layer adhesion becomes a real risk on bigger prints. Sticking to one service usually meant either paying a premium for oversized resin prints or sacrificing detail on the functional side, so now I just match the service to the model’s demands and it saves me both reprints and frustration.
