GARA'S WORKSHOP

I am a dad of two beautiful daughters, and I enjoy introducing them to the multiverse through nerdy objects that I 3D print.

This is one of the models from my small 3D printing workshop.
I love designing, testing, and sharing these figures with those who enjoy printing, painting, and collecting miniatures.

I am a big Bambu Lab fan and all my prints are mainly made with P2S and A1 Mini.

Before publishing a model, I always do several test prints to check stability, supports, and overall output.

Click here to join my Discord group: every now and then we do evening live sessions to talk about 3D printing, projects, tests, and new ideas to develop together.

RECOMMENDED PRINT SCALE

Perfect for D&D campaigns, wargame armies, heroes, monsters, survivors, and any creature you want to place on the field with a minimum of epic dignity — because even the unluckiest goblin deserves a serious base.

Maximum Print Flexibility – Multi-Scale 3MF Files

The set is designed to easily adapt to different uses. STL files are provided in standard 32mm scale, while 3MF projects are already prepared in multiple sizes, so you can immediately choose the most suitable dimension without going crazy with drunk alchemist calculations.

Scales included:

32mm – Ideal for infantry, standard characters, adventurers, and tabletop heroes.
40mm – Perfect for elite units, more imposing creatures, or small monsters.

PRINT PARAMETERS USED FOR TESTS

PLA Basic white
Layer height: 0.16 extra fine
Supports: hybrid tree
External brim: 5 mm
Object spacing: 0 mm

SUPPORT REMOVAL

The supports are designed to be quite delicate.

They can be 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 the figures in a single color and paint them after priming using acrylic markers or miniature painting techniques.

The colored images on the cover are only examples of coloring generated with AI 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 any case, you have my photos, both with and without supports, as a printed model reference!!!

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

The actual print photos are the monochrome white or grey 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 mainly use Bambu filaments and have no issues.

If you use a different setup:

• first and foremost, focus 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.

THE HEROME COLLECTION

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

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 a lot.
