This model was sliced and optimized to balance print speed and clean surface details, ensuring a perfect canvas for painting.

• Layer Height: 0.20mm (Provides great structural strength and clean lines while keeping print times efficient).
• Infill: 10%–15% (Recommended for a lightweight yet sturdy model).
• Supports: Depending on your orientation, minimal supports may be needed under the beak and tail feathers.
• Base: Includes a solid, textured display stand to keep Merlin upright and sturdy on any surface.

The model pictured was completely hand-painted post-print. If you are painting yours, here are a few tips based on this build:

• Preparation: A quick coat of primer helps the acrylics bond smoothly to the 0.20mm layer lines.
• Colors Used: True green for the jersey, crisp white for the number 10 and body accents, and vibrant red/orange for the beak, collar trim, and cleats.
• Details: Fine-tip brushes or paint pens work best for the jersey numbering and the eyes!
