JACK SPARROW

I am a dad to two beautiful girls and I enjoy introducing them to the multiverse through 3D printed nerd objects.
This is one of the models from my collection, which I share with anyone who loves 3D printing, also to receive constructive advice and always improve.
I am a big Bambu Lab fan and all my prints are made with P2S and A1 mini.

I do test prints at a reduced scale (8 cm) to check the model's stability and output.
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.
You only need a minimum of basic slicing knowledge. If you have any doubts, write to me and I'll gladly help you.

For testing, I printed it at 8 cm:
PLA Basic white
0.16 extra fine
hybrid tree supports
10 mm outer brim
object spacing 0 mm

The supports are very delicate. They are removed without damage, but one at a time, slowly, with tweezers and patience. There's no need to go Rambo on the support… otherwise, you'll cry.

If you want to collect them all… come here (the trap is already set):

Technical notes (the truth, not poetry)

I prefer to print in a single color and paint after priming with acrylic markers.
The colored images are just coloring examples: then everyone goes by personal taste.
The design originates from an AI generation (Tripo), manually refined and FDM tested to ensure real printability.
The “real” photos are the white single-color ones.

The part that decides whether you print or curse: plate adhesion.

I use CryoGrip Pro Frostbite and the adhesion is so strong that the prints seem to have taken out a mortgage on the plate: they never come off.
I mainly use Bambu filaments and have no problems.

If you have a different setup:

First and foremost, focus on adhesion.
Use dry, quality filament.
Keep things clean.

You'll see that “mysteriously” everything will start working much better.

May the nozzle always extrude for you, brother!
