Print difficulty level: Advanced

Recommended print settings: (If you use Bambu or Orca slicer, all the print settings are automatically loaded in the 3mf file)

-Layer height: 0.2mm

-Wall loops: 2

-Infill: 10%, Gyroid

-Support: In the 3mf file we added manual supports and support blockers so if you load that in Bambu Studio you are good to go,
if you use another slicer: you can activate Auto Tree(Organic) supports with a 28 degree threshold angle, TopZ distance 0.28, BottomZ distance 0.2, and you can add support blockers so the slicer doesn’t put supports under the top dome of the head (you can just leave it fully on auto supports too, just the printing time will be increased a bit, and more filament gets used.

Estimated print time: 16h

Painting & Post-Processing

Resources:

-Filler primer: Rust-Oleum Sandable Primer Spray, Gray
– Sandpaper: 3m Pro Grade Grit: 120, and 3M Wetordry Sandpaper Grit: 600
Primer: Rust-Oleum Painter’s Touch Spray Paint White
-Base color: Rust-Oleum Aged Metallic Weathered Steel
-Acrylic paint: Pébéo – Acrylic Fine Studio Acrylics – Silver,
-Clear coat finish: Rust-Oleum Matte Clear Coat or if you want glossy look Rust-Oleum Clear Gloss

Steps:

  • Sanding: Begin with coarse sandpaper (around 120-150 grit) to smooth down visible layer lines.

  • Filler Primer: Apply a coat of filler primer (like Rust-Oleum Filler Primer) to fill in remaining imperfections. Let it dry completely.

  • Wet Sanding: Wet sand the primer with 400-600 grit sandpaper for a polished surface. Repeat primer and sanding if needed until the surface is smooth.

  • Primer: Apply a coat of Rust-Oleum White Primer to prep the surface for painting.

  • Base Color Spray: Use a dark grey or the Rust-Oleum Weathered Steel spray paint for the base layer. Apply multiple light coats to avoid drips, ensuring full coverage.

  • Dry Brushing: Once dry, use silver acrylic paint for dry brushing on the scale edges to add depth and a metallic look. You can add some black or dark grey into the creases too.

  • Highlighting: Add subtle highlights with silver or light grey on raised areas for texture, you can add a few lines of gold or bronze if you wish around the raised areas of the cheekbone, nose etc.

  • Clear Coat: Finish with Rust-Oleum Matte Clear Coat for protection and a matte finish (or Rust-Oleum Gloss if you want a shinier look).

  • Glue the magnets to the back
