Supports & Removal Notes
- Fine details may include hands, facial features, birds, or robe folds
- Supports may be required depending on orientation and slicer settings
- Remove supports slowly and carefully, especially around small animal details
- Rushing support removal is the most common cause of breakage
Scaling & Strength
- Upscaling the model (125%–200%) will significantly improve durability
- Larger prints result in thicker features and stronger layer adhesion
- If printing for long-term display or frequent handling, consider printing larger
- Very small scales increase fragility, especially around hands and animal details
If strength matters more than size constraints, go bigger. It will look better and survive longer.
Important Notes
- Decorative and devotional use only
- Not designed for functional, load-bearing use
- Standard PLA is not recommended for long-term outdoor exposure
- Handle carefully after printing, particularly at smaller scales
