Model Variants Included:

This file includes multiple versions so you can choose what works best for your project:

• Solid Visor – clean, simple look
• Hollow Visor – adds depth and contrast
• Black & White Versions – bold raised outlines for easier coloring and strong visual separation

Perfect for single-color prints or multi-material setups.

Printing & Scaling Tips:

• Best printed in white PLA or PLA Matte (colors pop the most!)
• Print flat, no supports needed
• Want to resize?
  • Resize the model first
  • Then disable uniform scaling
  • Set thickness to ~2.5 mm (or thinner if you want more flexibility)

Scaling ideas:

• Large prints → wall décor, classroom art, easy coloring for kids
• Small prints → fridge magnets, fine motor skill practice, relaxing detail work for adults

Choices of Markers/Paints:

This model is designed to work with many coloring techniques:

Markers

• Fine tip (Staedtler / Sharpie) – smooth coverage
• Ultra-fine (≈0.4 mm) – perfect for small details

Paints

• Acrylic paint markers – vibrant, opaque colors
• Watercolors – soft, translucent effects

Bonus techniques

• Metallic gel pens or glitter glue for sparkle
• Epoxy resin coating for a glossy, professional finish that protects the artwork
