Bison or Buffalo

A strong and expressive bison sculpture created with a focus on realism and character. The model captures the massive body structure, heavy fur flow, and natural stance of this iconic animal.

Most of the model was carefully rebuilt and refined to achieve better anatomy, sharper surface definition, and a more dynamic silhouette. Special attention was given to the fur layering and muscle transitions to create depth and volume, especially around the head, shoulders, and front legs.

Designed with 3D printing in mind, the geometry has been cleaned and optimized for reliable slicing. Suitable for both FDM and resin printing.

FDM Printing:

• Nozzle: 0.4 mm (standard)
• Layer height: 0.12–0.2 mm
• Infill: 10–15% (gyroid or cubic recommended)
• Walls: 3–4 perimeters
• Supports: Recommended under the chin, belly, and base overhangs depending on scale
• Print orientation: Upright (as shown in preview images)

For larger prints, increasing wall count instead of infill is recommended for better strength.

Resin Printing:

• Layer height: 0.03–0.05 mm
• Hollowing recommended for larger scales
• Add drainage holes if hollowed
• Supports required under belly, chin, and front legs

The model can be scaled up or down depending on your printer’s build volume.
