Print settings (tested)

• Printer: Bambu Lab A1 Mini
• Nozzles tested: 0.6 mm (black — largest sample), 0.4 mm, 0.2 mm
• Layer height (suggested):
  • 0.6 mm nozzle → 0.28–0.32 mm (fast & sturdy)
  • 0.4 mm nozzle → 0.20–0.24 mm (balance of detail/time)
  • 0.2 mm nozzle → 0.10–0.14 mm (highest detail, longest time)
• Perimeters: 3–4
• Infill: 10–15% (Gyroid/Cubic)
• Top/Bottom: 3–5 layers (@0.2 mm)
• Brim: 3–5 mm recommended on larger scales

Orientation & supports

• Print upright (default pose).
• Supports only where needed: under the outstretched gun arm, coat tails, and small spots under glove fingers.
• Important: when painting supports, take special care around the hand (fingers/trigger guard). Use Support Painting / Blockers to protect fine details.
• Support interface: 2–3 layers; standard Z-gap.

Multicolor (color OBJ)

• Import the OBJ in Bambu Studio → Keep vertex color / map to AMS colors.
• Suggested 7-color palette:
  1. Coat — sand/brown
  2. Pants — military green
  3. Boots — dark brown
  4. Rocks — dark gray
  5. Base sand — beige
  6. Helmet — olive
  7. Goggles/accent — red
• Enable purge reduction; slow down for thin features (goggles, trigger).

Scaling

• Scales well 80–200% (base size fits A1 Mini without rotation).
• Scaling up: consider more perimeters or a 0.6 mm nozzle for speed/rigidity.
• Scaling down: use a 0.2 mm nozzle and finer layers.

Materials

• PLA / PLA-Tough — easiest, stable.
• PETG — tougher; increase support Z-gap.
• Resin (SLA) — feasible, use very light supports near hands/weapon.

Quality tips

• Reduce speed for small hand/weapon features.
• Enable Ironing: Top surfaces (0.2/0.4 mm nozzle) for a smoother coat.
• After support removal, clean gently with a scraper and soft brush.

Test prints

• Confirmed on A1 Mini:
  • 0.6 mm — quick “sculptural” look (largest black print)
  • 0.4 mm — good balance
  • 0.2 mm — highest detail
