Print Settings and Suggestions:

These are the recommended settings for FDM printing based on standard PLA (like the yellow print in the photo):

• Recommended Material: PLA for simplicity and fine detail. Resin for smoother finish and micro-details.
• Layer Height: 0.12mm to 0.16mm (high detail recommended for best results).
• Supports: Yes, required. The outstretched arms and some elements of the helmet wings will need minimal support structures. Tree supports are highly effective here.
• Infill: 15-20% (Grid or Gyroid).
• Perimeters (Walls): 3 walls minimum.
• Cooling: Use a high fan speed for sharp details on the hair and helmet features.
• Post-Processing: Carefully remove supports and consider a light sanding for an ultra-smooth finish if planning to paint.
