PRINT PARAMETERS USED FOR TESTING

Test scale: approximately 5 cm

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

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

SUPPORT REMOVAL

The supports are designed to be quite delicate.

They are removed without damaging the model but gently:
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 printer.

TECHNICAL NOTES (the truth, not poetry)

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

The colored images on the cover are just AI-generated coloring examples to show possible painting styles.

The final result always depends on the personal taste of whoever paints 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 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 gray 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 ONLY use Bambu filaments and have no problems.

If you use a different setup:

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

With these precautions, printing is much simpler and more reliable.

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.
