HERO HAMMER SPACE SKELETON COMMANDER

GARA'S WORKSHOP

I am a dad to two beautiful girls, and I enjoy introducing them to the multiverse through the 3D printed 'nerd' objects I create

This is one of the models created in my small 3D printing workshop
I enjoy designing, testing, and sharing these figures with fellow enthusiasts who love printing, painting, and collecting miniatures

I am a big fan of Bambu Lab and all my prints are primarily made with the P2S and A1 mini

Before publishing a model, I always perform several test prints to check for stability, supports, and overall print quality

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

RECOMMENDED PRINT SCALE

I often create test prints at a reduced scale (around 8 cm) to check the model's behavior

However, there's an important point

If you print it larger, around 15 cm, you will not only gain more detail but also easier printing

My advice is to enlarge it as much as you like, but add a few extra supports where necessary

Proof that the model prints correctly can be found in the actual photos within the post

Only a basic understanding of slicing is required

If you have any questions, feel free to message me: I'm always happy to help if I can

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

PRINT PARAMETERS USED FOR TESTING

Test scale: approximately 8 cm

Bambu PLA Basic white
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 can be removed without damaging the model, but proceed calmly:
one at a time, slowly, using tweezers and a little patience

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

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

TECHNICAL NOTES (the truth, not poetry)

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

The colored images shown on the cover are merely coloring examples generated with AI to illustrate 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 physical model and the AI-generated model, I still need to perfect the method!!!! in any case you have my photos both with and without supports as a reference for the actual printed model!!!

The design originates from an AI generation (Tripo), subsequently manually refined and tested with FDM printing to ensure actual printability

The actual print photos are the single-color white or gray ones found in the gallery

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

THE PART THAT DECIDES SUCCESS OR FRUSTRATION IN PRINTING

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 build plate: they never detach

I primarily use Bambu filaments and experience no issues

If you use a different setup:

• first and foremost focus on bed adhesion
• use dry and high-quality filament
• keep the build plate perfectly clean
• do not be afraid to use a brim or additional supports

By taking these precautions, printing becomes much simpler and more reliable

GARA'S COLLECTION

If you like this model, you can find all the other figures in the collection here:

But be warned…

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

If you like the model, please leave a like it truly helps the project grow
