The Vow - Whispers of the Hood 05

🩶 Whispers of the Hood – No. 5: The Vow

Some join. Some follow. She commits.

This is The Vow, fifth figure in the Whispers of the Hood series. Her stance is upright, poised, one hand placed solemnly over her heart. The other relaxed at her side, as if to say: I stand for something... and I will not waver.

Her robe is simpler than the Oracle’s, yet drawn close and vertical, rippling downward like the roots of a promise. Her face is calm beneath the hood, lowered just enough to conceal her gaze… but not her intent.

She does not speak. She becomes.

If her silence stirs something in you...

Print profile

• 150mm
• 2 Arachne walls
• 0.16mm layer height
• 5% infill
• Supports enabled
  • I noticed a minor defect near the chin, so I painted extra supports in that area as a precaution.
  • When removing supports, handle with care. Avoid pulling off entire tree branches at once, as this may damage delicate parts like the hands. Instead, gradually cut the branches into smaller sections with a sharp tool, then gently loosen the pieces. The supports will release almost effortlessly.

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.
