Out of the Frame: Bear Unchained

🐻 Out of the Frame: Bear Unchained

Part of the Out of the Frame collection, Bear Unchained captures the brute force of a roaring bear breaking through its boundaries. With teeth bared and claws extended, this 3D printed sculpture seems to leap straight off the wall. The stylized frame gives structure while the bear explodes past it… powerful, textured, and full of motion. This wall-mounted piece makes a bold statement in any modern, rustic, or primal-themed space.

Print profile included

• 2 walls (Arachne)
• 5% infill (combination)

Plates

1. 100mm variable layer
2. 100mm 0.16 layer
3. 150mm 0.16 layer
4. 100mm 0.16 layer fuzzy skin (distance 0.2, thickness 0.3)

Key Printing Tips:

• Disable “Strength → Detect Thin Wall” → gives smoother, cleaner surfaces on detailed parts.
• Always check the slicing preview in Bambu Studio before starting the print.
• Support removal trick: Cut supports into small chunks first, then gently loosen → they usually pop off cleanly without damage.
• Some plates use lots of supports, if so → for reliable prints use these filament settings:
  • Filament Overrides
    • Z Hop When Retract: 0.6 mm
    • Z Hop Type: Spiral
    • Travel Distance Threshold: 1 mm
    • ✅ Enable Retract When Changing Layer
  • Also, disable these settings in Bambu Studio if Variable Layer height is used:
    • Supports
      • ❌ Disable Independent Support Layer Height
    • Others
      • ❌ Disable Reduce Infill Retraction
    • I’ve found that a 0.15 mm top Z distance works best when printing with variable layer height.
