The Aim - Whispers of the Hood 14

🏹 Whispers of the Hood - No. 14: The Aim

Some walk the road. Some guard the gate. She chooses the moment.

This is The Aim, fourteenth figure in the Whispers of the Hood series. Hood low, stance wide, she draws her bow with calm precision... not hurried, not angry, just certain.

No speeches. No warnings. Only focus.

Print profile

• Two sizes included: Medium (red) + Large (green)
  • Medium matches the scale of the other Whispers of the Hood figures for collectors
• Split parts included for easy multicolor printing
• Suit and base
  • 0.16 layer, 2 walls, 5% infill
• Other parts
  • 0.12 layer, 3 walls, 20% infill
• Snap-fit pegs are designed to click in place, but minor trimming or a touch of glue may help
• Parts are oriented so most supports land inside connection areas ... clean them thoroughly for the best fit
• Small parts (especially bow strings) may fit tight or be slightly long ... trim as needed
• Assembly hint: build hands + bow + strings + arrow first, then attach the hands to the body

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.
