This delightful witch figure captures a moment of relatable magic—a sorceress in need of her morning java before diving into serious spellwork. Her oversized cup, clutched firmly in both hands, humorously hints at her dependence on a hefty dose of caffeine to kickstart her day. The cup, a vibrant purple, adds a playful pop of color to her otherwise dark, mystical ensemble, perfectly balancing the tone between whimsy and enchantment.

 

Please note that this is a challenging print!

 

edit Oct 22, 2024: I have added a 2nd plate to the print profile to include an optional friction-fit base to help the witch's stability.  The holes for the chair legs are off-center on purpose, and the two front legs should go in the two holes closest to the edge of the sphere. This helps with the center of gravity because the witch's head is so top-heavy and rear-ward facing, and she is very stable when placed in the base.

 

There are many overhangs, requiring many supports. Using the “remove small overhangs” made things look awful. I'm not an expert in painting supports in critical places--perhaps you can modify things to be better. But as it is, there are many overhangs to remove, and some of them can be very tricky. The overhang under her chin, for instance, requires a great deal of care. If you lever a set of pliers under there too hard at the wrong angle, and she could lose her head! I find a small craft knife helps with that one.

 

She sits on her chair just fine, but it's a precarious thing--she's easy to knock over. She's got a big, top-heavy head. Intended to be placed on a shelf or curio or desk. Once placed, she will sit just fine if you don't knock into her. Perhaps I could make a small circular base for her if the print proves popular enough.

As with all AI generated stuff, this took a lot of work to clean up in Fusion and Blender before it was presentable. I had to fix floating geometry not attached to anything else, weird AI artifacts sprouting off of the main body, etc. Anyone who's worked with AI photos will know what I mean.

 

I made at least 10 test prints before I was satisfied with the end result. Then, I had to paint it by hand, because the instant you pull an STL into a 3rd party program and then re-import it into Bambu Studio, you lose all your color. And then I printed 10 more in color to assure myself that all the supports would come off if you took enough care, and that she would reliably sit upright on the stool. But in the end, I think she turned out super cute!
