HERO KATTIVI MECHANIC

GARA'S LABORATORY

I am a dad of two beautiful girls and I enjoy letting them discover the multiverse through 3D printed nerd objects.

This is one of the models from my small 3D printing laboratory.  
I like to design, test, and share these figures with those who love to print, paint, and collect miniatures.

I am a big fan of Bambu Lab and all my prints are mainly made with P2S and A1 Mini.

Before publishing a model, I always do several test prints to check stability, supports, and overall quality.

------------------------------------------------

RECOMMENDED PRINT SCALE

I often make test prints at a reduced scale (approximately 10 cm) to check the model's behavior.

But there is something important.

If you print it larger, around 15 cm, in addition to gaining details, you also gain ease of printing.

My advice:  
enlarge it as much as you want, but add a few extra supports where needed.

Proof that the model prints correctly is in the real photos in the post.

Only basic slicing knowledge is required.

If you have any doubts, feel free to write to me: if I can help, I always do so willingly.

------------------------------------------------

PRINT PARAMETERS USED FOR TESTS

Test scale: approximately 10 cm

PLA Basic white  
Layer height: 0.16 extra fine  
Supports: hybrid tree  
Outer brim: 10 mm  
Object spacing: 0 mm

------------------------------------------------

SUPPORT REMOVAL

The supports are designed to be quite delicate.

They are removed without damaging the model but calmly:
one at a time, slowly, using tweezers and a bit of patience.

No need to go Rambo on the supports…  
or something will break and you'll end up crying in front of the printer.

------------------------------------------------

TECHNICAL NOTES (the truth, not poetry)

I prefer to print figures in single color and paint them after priming using acrylic markers or miniature painting techniques.

The colored images on the cover are only examples of coloring generated with AI to show possible painting styles.

The final result always depends on the personal taste of the person painting the model, I apologize for some imperfections and slight differences between the real model and the AI model, I still need to perfect the method!!!!in all cases you have my photos as a reference printed model, both with and without supports!!!

The design originates from an AI generation (Tripo), subsequently refined manually and tested in FDM printing to ensure real printability.

The real print photos are the monochrome white or gray ones in the gallery.

------------------------------------------------

THE PART THAT DECIDES IF YOU PRINT OR SWEAR

Plate adhesion.

I use CryoGrip Pro Frostbite and the adhesion is so strong that the prints seem to have taken out a mortgage on the plate: they never come off.

I mainly use Bambu filaments and have no problems.

If you use a different setup:

• focus first and foremost on bed adhesion  
• use dry and quality filament  
• keep the print bed perfectly clean  
• don't be afraid to use brim or extra supports

With these precautions, printing becomes much simpler and more reliable.

GARA'S COLLECTION

If you like this model, you can find all the other figures in the collection here:

Be careful though…

if you start printing them, you'll end up wanting them all.

If you like the model, leave a like, it really helps the project grow a lot.
