►iSANMATE Matte Gradient


Print difficulty level: Beginner

Print settings:

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

-Layer height: 0.16-0.2mm (within this range it works well, the lower the layer height, the less you can see the layer lines)

-Wall loops: 2 (if you want slightly stronger walls, you can also put it to 3)

-Infill: 10%, Gyroid

-Support: Add Auto Tree supports with a TopZ distance of 0.28, and BottomZ distance 0.2, for an easier-simpler support removal. It will add some supports under the tip of the hat, around the body-legs contact area and the backside of the head (you can see the reference image of the sliced view in the download folder)

Painting and post-processing instructions (optional, you can always just go straight for painting if you don’t mind the layer lines as much, or use pretty gradient, silk or dual silk filaments too, which gives pretty colors without the need of painting)

(Also 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 colors from the acrylic paint set, then apply a clear coat (matte or glossy) for protection and finish.

     (Allow each layer to dry fully before moving to the next for the best results.)
