ZKULL EDITION

Meet ZKULL, a new collection of modular figurines inspired by urban culture and designer toys. The idea is simple: avoid AMS and reduce filament waste by offering models as multi-part assemblies so everyone can choose their own colors using a single-extruder printer, no purge tower, no forced material swaps. Each piece is designed to be easy to print, assemble and customize to your style.  New versions in the ZKULL edition will be released regularly, feel free to share your ideas! I hope you enjoy the collection. I can’t wait to see your prints.

Cold Gang Zkull

He was shaped by concrete winters and glowing storefronts, where the city never sleeps but rarely rests. His skull face shows no emotion, yet it sees everything. The beanie seals his thoughts, the oversized puffer jacket wraps him like a shield, and his sneakers grip the ground with quiet confidence. He doesn’t rush, he holds his position.

His style isn’t fashion, it’s function. The inflated jacket is a barrier against the cold and the noise, a mobile refuge stitched with resilience. Hands buried deep in the pockets, he stands firm, unmoved by chaos. He doesn’t need to speak; his presence slows the rhythm around him. People notice without knowing why.

He watches over the everyday struggles: late-night walks, empty bus stops, lights flickering in forgotten streets. He notices what others overlook a dropped glove, a broken step, a shadow lingering too long. When something is out of place, he intervenes quietly. A warning glance. A silent block. A problem dissolved before it becomes one.

He doesn’t chase attention. He stabilizes the city from within. Where others pass through, he remains.
 

And when the night thickens, neon reflecting on his jacket, he stands like a landmark solid, unmissable, reassuring.

He is not a ghost.
He is the weight that keeps the city grounded.

Technical Description

For the logos, the parts fit directly into the designated slots. However, depending on tolerances and the material used, gluing may be required to ensure a secure hold. It is recommended to gently heat the zipper (using warm air, without overheating) to slightly soften the part and improve its shape when installing it onto the main piece.

Important: for the logos, it is essential to respect the print speed specified in the file. For optimal print quality, significantly reduce the printing speed for small logo details, as this greatly improves precision and surface finish.

Summary
Model designed in multiple parts and assembled with connectors. The pieces hold together by pressure without glue if tolerances are adapted to the material and the calibration of your printer. The provided files already contain optimized positions (for supports and orientation), do not change the position of the parts unless you know exactly what you are doing.

Printing Instructions

Keep the provided parameters: the BambuLab / Bambu Studio profiles included in the archive are tested for this model — you can keep them as is for reliable printing.

Orientation & Supports: parts are positioned in the files to minimize supports and ease post-processing. Do not globally reorient the parts; if you modify one, check the impact on the supports.

Assembly - Recommended Method

• Dry-fit: assemble all the parts without glue to check alignment and fit.
• Cleaning: lightly deburr edges and pegs with a file/modeling tool to achieve uniform contact.
• Fine adjustments: very light sanding if the fit is too tight (200–400 grit sandpaper). If the fit is too loose, add a thin strip of PLA/PTFE tape on the peg (very discreet) or apply a small amount of glue.
• Optional fixation:  glue for permanent bonding.
• Final check: verify alignment of patterns and mobility (if moving parts).

Recommended Print Settings

• Layer height: 0.12–0.20 mm (0.12 for fine details).
• Perimeters (walls): 2.
• Infill: 8–15% (can be increased for load-bearing parts).
• Supports: use the orientation in the provided files Bambu Studio.
• Bed adhesion: brim if contact surfaces are small.
• Temperatures: keep the profile values or calibrate according to your filament.

Additional Note on Gluing

Each part can be glued together to improve the long-term stability of the figurine, or left unglued if you prefer to swap pieces in different colors. However, it is strongly recommended to glue the black eye inserts as well as the nose, since these are the only parts without tolerances adapted for a friction-fit.

Specific Notes & Best Practices

• Tolerance varies depending on filament: always test on the target printer.
• Do not glue immediately: prefer assembly without glue to allow retouches and recoloring.
• Labeling: keep the part names/positions as in the file (makes reassembly and support easier).
