The Dark Duo: Batman vs Joker Split Bust

Deep within the twisted psyche of Gotham City, two opposing forces remain forever locked in an eternal struggle. This high-detail split bust captures that very essence—the dual nature of order and chaos, justice and madness. One side features the grim, stoic determination of the Dark Knight, while the other reveals the psychotic, manic grin of the Clown Prince of Crime.

This model is a true passion project, meticulously crafted to showcase the gritty contrast between Gotham's greatest protector and its most dangerous agent of chaos.

A Note on the Paint Job: > The model displayed in the photos was hand-painted using acrylics. It was intentionally finished with a raw, hobbyist aesthetic rather than a factory-perfect look to preserve the authentic texture, character, and 3D-printed layer lines of the sculpture.

Print Settings & Profile Advice

• Height: 14 cm
• Layer Height: 0.14 mm (for optimal balance between print time and fine detail)
• Infill: 8% Gyroid (provides excellent structural integrity while saving filament)

⚠️ IMPORTANT: Build Plate & Support Removal

• Bed Adhesion: Ensure your build plate is thoroughly cleaned before starting the print. Perfect first-layer adhesion is crucial for a model with this level of detail.
• Support Removal: Do NOT simply rip the supports off with your hands! Take your time, use PATIENCE, and utilize a small flush cutter (side cutter) to carefully snip the support connections. Rushing this process risks snapping the delicate elements of the sculpt.
