So many of you are messaging me asking where my old models have gone.

I’m trying to reply to everyone, but I’ll say it here too: unfortunately, several of my models are being removed from the platform.

So my advice is very simple:

if you like a model, download it NOW.

Don’t just add it to your collection, because in a few days it might be too late… and then come the tears, the regrets, and the classic “damn, I should have downloaded it when I had the chance.”

You’ve been warned. The rest is in the hands of the 3D printing gods. 😄

GARA'S WORKSHOP

I am a dad of two beautiful girls and I enjoy showing them the multiverse through nerd objects that I 3D print.

This is one of the models that came out of my small 3D printing workshop.  
I enjoy designing, testing, and sharing 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 made mainly with P2S and A1 mini.

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

RECOMMENDED PRINTING SCALE

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

But there's an important thing.

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 needed.

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

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

PRINT SETTINGS USED FOR TESTS

Test scale: about 5 cm

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

SUPPORT REMOVAL

The supports are designed to be quite delicate.

Remove them 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 breaks and you end up crying in front of the 3D 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 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, both with and without supports, as a reference for the printed model!!!

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

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

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

THE PART THAT DECIDES IF YOU PRINT OR CURSE

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 mainly use Bambu filaments and have no problems.

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.

HEROME'S COLLECTION

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

But be careful…

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.
