Supports & Removal Notes
- Fine details may include hands, facial features, sword, and broken wheel elements
- The wheel and sword are the most fragile areas
- Supports may be required depending on orientation and slicer settings
- Remove supports slowly and carefully, especially around thin wheel spokes
- Do not twist thin parts free, cut supports gradually instead
Scaling & Strength
- Upscaling (125%–200%) significantly improves durability of the wheel and sword
- Larger prints produce thicker spokes and stronger layer adhesion
- Small-scale prints increase fragility, especially around thin accessories
- If printing for long-term display, consider a larger scale for stability
Important Notes
- Decorative and devotional use only
- Not designed for functional weapon use
- Not load-bearing or intended for outdoor exposure
- Handle carefully after printing, particularly around thin details
