Dune Troops / Fighters - Board Game Resources

Model to replace wooden cube for troops token 

Model is quite detailed I printed it on 0.2mm nozzle, was aiming for futuristic armored warrior holding a melee weapon.

 

I uploaded also STLs but before you attempt to print it on non bambulab printer checkout of the settings I used in 3mf. 

 

Key ingredients :

• 0.2mm nozzle
• top z distance 150% of layer high
• manual tree support
• very good adhesion build plate - I use smooth PEI
• slower print - (default High Quality profile)

(!) Tips on removing the supports:
If you printed successfully next challenge is removing support if you do it usual way you have a good change of snapping  both arms. Strategy I used is to:

• cut the supports half way with clippers creating a gap
• pure warm-hot water into a dish
• give a mini a bath for 2-3 miniatures depending on temperature to soften the supports 
• slowly remove the support pieces starting from bottom layers
• you probably need to  bath couple of times of each miniature cause they cool down quite quick

Supports removal guide:
