Aeterna: The Fusion Icon (1970-2020)

The Ultimate Female Warrior Tribute

Aeterna is not just a character; it's a tribute to fifty years of animation and gaming history. This unique model blends the tactical elegance of Motoko Kusanagi, the regal aura of Lady Dimitrescu, and the untamed energy of icons like Lara Croft and Bayonetta.

Featuring a tight, futuristic suit that enhances her athletic silhouette, Aeterna is depicted in a proud and statuesque pose, with both feet firmly on the ground. The design has been simplified by eliminating capes and complex accessories to ensure a clean line, emphasizing the pure form and strength of the character.

Author's Notes

"This model originated from the challenge of uniting different generations into a single sensual and powerful figure. It is designed to be the centerpiece of any 3D figurine collection. If you print it, I'd love to see your results in the 'Makes' section!"

• Process: 0.12mm High Quality @BBL X1C/P1S/A1
  • Why: This profile perfectly balances Bambu's speed with the detail needed for a sensual and defined face.
• Supports (Essential): * Use "Tree (Slim)".
  • Style: Tree Organic.
  • Top Interface Layers: 3.
  • Top Z Distance: 0.15mm (for clean removal without leaving marks on the skin or suit).
• Walls: * Set 3 Wall Loops. This will give more solidity to the thin legs and arms, preventing them from breaking during support removal.
• Speed:
  • Reduce the speed of Outer Walls to 60-80 mm/s. The Bambu is fast, but for human figures, a reduced speed on the outer part ensures a silky smooth surface finish.
