Horse standing on back legs

3D Printed Galloping Horse Statue

This model captures the power and elegance of a horse in mid-stride, specifically designed for those who love the authentic FDM look. Unlike "perfect" resin-style models, this one celebrates the 3D printing process with visible, high-detail layer lines that give it a unique, tactile texture.

Model Overview

• Dynamic Pose: A majestic galloping horse with a flowing mane and tail.
• Structural Integrity: Features reinforced thick legs to ensure the model is sturdy and won't snap during support removal or handling.
• Integrated Base: Comes with a clean, circular 3D printed pedestal for a stable display on any flat surface—no extra glue required!
• Maker Aesthetic: Optimized to look great with visible layer heights (0.16mm - 0.2mm), highlighting the "printed" nature of the art.

Print Settings Recommendations

Setting	Value
Material	PLA, Silk PLA (looks great in Gold or Silver), or PETG
Layer Height	0.16mm (for a balance of detail and texture)
Supports	Required (Tree supports recommended for the belly and tail)
Infill	15% - 20% (Gyroid suggested for strength)
Wall Loops	3 (increases leg durability)

Assembly & Tips

This horse is printed as a single piece with its base. If you're using Tree supports, they should pop right off the legs and tail, leaving a clean finish. For an extra pop, try using a "Fuzzy Skin" setting on just the horse body to contrast with the smooth pedestal!
