PRINT PARAMETERS USED FOR TESTS

Test scale: about 5 cm

only Bambu Lab 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 gently:
one at a time, slowly, using tweezers and a bit of patience

There's 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 monochrome and paint them after priming using acrylic markers or miniature painting techniques

The colored images on the cover are only AI-generated coloring examples 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 as a reference for the printed model, both with and without supports!!!

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

The real print photos are the monochrome white or gray ones in the gallery

THE PART THAT DECIDES IF YOU PRINT OR CURSE

Plate adhesion

I use CryoGrip Pro Frostbite and the adhesion is so strong that prints seem to have taken out a mortgage on the plate: they never detach

I ONLY use Bambu filaments and have no problems

If you use a different setup:

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

With these precautions, printing becomes much simpler and more reliable

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
