Update June 29 2023: I've added two more files which put the frame and armor on “runners” to keep all the parts together when printing. You'll just need to snip away the “gates” connecting the parts together. You'll notice the Printables logo on the chest armor - in honor of these files being included with the new Prusa i3 MK4!

Introducing MINI 13!

Mini 13 is the next generation of Lucky 13: a fully 3D printable, highly posable, snap-together, modular, customizable, jointed figure - now optimized for faster and easier printing and even easier customization.

With a jointed frame, a simple set of armor, and some example accessories, this starter set contains everything you need to start printing, playing, and making it your own.

Printing

The first three files give you all the parts you need to assemble the frame, armor, and extras. You can also print individual parts; the file name indicates if you will need to print more than one of each part (e.g. you would print 4 of the file mini13-frame-arm-4x.stl).

I recommend PETG or ASA for the frame parts (PLA also works but the joints will weaken faster). The armor and extras can be printed in the filament of your choice.

These are the settings I use for best results (at 100% scale and with a 0.4mm nozzle)

• Layer height 0.15mm (first layer 0.2mm)
• 3 perimeters
• 30% rectilinear infill
• Slow down the first layer print speed (30% of default)
• 0.25mm elephant foot compensation
• Print external perimeters first
• No brim or support material

You may need to tweak these settings and find what works best with your printer.

Assembly

The video and image below show how to assemble the model. All parts should snap snugly into place - no tools needed!
