GARA'S LAB

I am a father of two beautiful daughters and I enjoy introducing them to the multiverse through nerdy objects that I 3D print

This is one of the models that came out of my small 3D printing lab
I enjoy designing, testing, and sharing these figures with those who love printing, painting, and collecting miniatures

I am a big Bambu Lab fan 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 output

Click here to join my Discord group: every now and then we have evening live sessions to talk about 3D printing, projects, tests, and new ideas to develop together.

RECOMMENDED PRINT SCALE

Perfect for D&D campaigns, wargame armies, heroes, monsters, survivors, and any creature you want to place on the field with a minimum of epic dignity — because even the unluckiest goblin deserves a serious base

Maximum printing flexibility – Multi-Scale 3MF Files

The set is designed to adapt easily to different uses. STL files are provided in standard 32mm scale, while 3MF projects are already prepared in multiple sizes, so you can immediately choose the most suitable size without going crazy with drunk alchemist calculations

Scales included:

 32mm – Ideal for infantry, standard characters, adventurers, and tabletop heroes
40mm – Perfect for elite units, more imposing creatures, or small monsters

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

PRINT PARAMETERS USED FOR TESTS

PLA Basic white
Layer height: 0.16 extra fine
Supports: hybrid tree
Outer brim: 5 mm
Object spacing: 0 mm

SUPPORT REMOVAL

The supports are designed to be quite delicate

They can be 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…
otherwise something might break and you'll end up crying in front of the printer

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

TECHNICAL NOTES (the truth, not poetry)

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

The colored images on the cover are just coloring examples 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 refine the method!!!!in any case, you have my photos, both with and without supports, as a reference for the printed model!!!!

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

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

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

THE PART THAT DECIDES IF YOU PRINT OR SWEAR

Bed adhesion

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

I primarily use Bambu filaments and have no issues

If you use a different setup:

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

With these precautions, printing becomes much simpler and more reliable

THE HEROME 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
