PRINT PARAMETERS USED FOR TESTS

Test scale: approximately 5 cm

only Bambulab PLA Basic white or gray
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

They can be removed without damaging the model, but calmly:
one at a time, slowly, using tweezers and a bit of patience

There's no need to go Rambo on the supports…  
otherwise, something will break, and you'll end up crying in front of the printer

TECHNICAL NOTES (the truth, not poetry)

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

The colored images on the cover are just examples of AI-generated coloring 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 originated from an AI generation (Tripo), subsequently refined manually and tested in 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 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 print bed: they never detach

I ONLY use Bambu filaments and have no problems

If you use a different setup:

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

With these precautions, printing becomes much simpler and more reliable

if you start printing them, you'll end up wanting them all
