Print difficulty level: Beginner

Print settings:

If you have a Bambu printer, you can load the 3mf project files with the recommended slicing settings. (If you’re used to other settings with your machine, feel free to adjust the settings), we recommend to keep the orientation of each object the way it’s being imported, the position minimizes the amounts of supports needed and keeps the layer lines not too visible.

(if you have a multi-color AMS printer, you can also just print the colored 3mf file, but in our opinion, a real post-processing will always give a more real lifelike touch and originality to the prints!)

Post-processing steps:

  • Sanding: Start with coarse sandpaper (120 grit) to smooth layer lines, then use finer grits (220) and lastly (400-600) for a more polished surface.

  • Filler Primer: Apply a filler primer coat to cover imperfections. Let it dry completely.

  • Wet Sanding: Use 400-600 grit sandpaper for wet sanding the primer, repeating as needed for smoothness.

  • Final Primer Coat: Apply a thin layer of regular primer to create an even base for painting.

Painting & Sealing: Paint with your chosen color from the acrylic paint set, : apply a base coat of light beige or cream paint using an airbrush or spray can for smooth coverage, then for shading and depth, apply a dark wash (e.g., diluted brown/gray paint) to accentuate creases. Wipe excess from the raised areas to leave shadows.
Use a dry brush with off-white or ivory paint, lightly brushing over raised areas to highlight details.
then apply a clear coat (matte or glossy) for protection and finish.
