Important Notes on Printing

Tree supports are highly recommended for the arms, bow, and hood area.

Remove supports slowly to preserve small surface details.

Pay special attention when removing supports near the hands and arch.

An edge is recommended for better grip on the print bed.

Post-Processing Tips

Light sanding and applying primer greatly improve the surface finish.

Matte paints and a dark wash enhance the textures of the roof.

The dry brush technique works very well on brick and concrete.

Designed as a decorative piece and a challenging yet rewarding print.
