Here is a Belgian Malinois Working Dog Bust that was a request from the community. It features a Malinois in a tactical vest holding a standard rifle. It's designed to sit on a desk or shelf as a solid display piece, especially if you like military-themed setups or tactical animal models. It prints great as a solid color statue, or you can use the provided AMS version.
Print Settings & Tips
- Nozzle: 0.4mm works perfectly for the default size. If you plan to scale the model way down, you might want to swap to a 0.2mm nozzle.
- Layer Height: The profile is set to 0.20mm, but dropping it to 0.16mm or 0.12mm really helps smooth out the curves and hide the layer lines.
- Infill: 8% Gyroid. It’s a great sweet spot for keeping the part strong without wasting filament.
- Adhesion: No brim required, but if you have concerns with adhesion, adding a 5mm Brim should do the trick
- Colors: I've uploaded both AMS and non-AMS versions, so you can easily swap the colors to fit your style.
- Filament: Recommend PLA Matte, reduces layer lines and support removal is easier.
Thanks for the support and happy printing!
