If you are using a different slicer, download the file under the option “download stl/cad files. You will download the file clalled ”terracota horse orca slicer." This is designed for bambu studio, but i made the file using the orca slicer so hopefully it will work on other platforms and slicers as well.

🐎 Terracotta Army Excavation Set – Year of the Horse 🏺

Excavate Your Own Warrior & Horse | Interactive 3D Print Experience

Celebrate the Year of the Horse with a hands-on twist inspired by the legendary Terracotta Army!
This unique 3D print isn’t just a display piece—it’s an interactive excavation experience.
