This print is ready to go and does not need any more fixing to be printed!
Not the images are of v3, v4 has fixes for any issues i had with v3.

This print already has all the support material ready to go, DO NOT add SUPPORT MATERIAL.
the support material that i already added to the file has tapered ends and easily breaks off, however be very careful removing, especially around the head, swords, and hoses.
I STRONGLY RECOMMEND USING A CUTTING DEVICE like a dremel, or rotary tool to cut the supports on this model. unlike my other models, this needs beefy supports for the crazy overhangs, but the model itself is very delicate. do not print this is if you are not willing to take the time to carefully remove the supports, and reprint if necessary.
Print with AT LEAST 30% infill and be careful removing supports, there are many fragile features.
DO NOT PRINT WITH A RAFT OR SUPPORT MATERIAL
Do not freak out of the supports fail mid print, they are mostly redundant and designed to recover.
there are TWO stl files included, PRINT THE 3DPrintReady FILE. I included files of the print without supports if you want to add your own supports. note a base is necessary or the model will tip over.
print this at .1mm layer height for optimal results.
i did a bunch of smoothing in Meshmixer, so the stl file is quite big even after being 'reduced' so be patient!
Im working on making the whole RWBY gang, but my studies are sucking all my time and on top of that meshmixer keeps crashing so be patient! these things a pain to get printable
Printer Brand:
Wanhao
Printer:
Wanhao Duplicator i3 Plus
Rafts:
No
Supports:
No
Resolution:
.1 mm layer height
Infill:
30% this is critical that you make it at least 30 percent
Notes:
I printed this on a monoprice maker select plus (a rebrand of the wanhao, identical printer)
if you want to speed up print time, keep the outer layer slow, so it looks good, but increase the fill print speed.
IMPORTANT: you MUST have AT LEAST a .8mm shell thickness or the supports will fuse with the model! (need the model to be strong enough that when the supports are removed they dont take some of the model with them)
for scale, the model is ~116mm tall including base. i would strongly recommend not printing this any smaller, there are already very small and fragile features as it is.
a dremel and a pliers and a flush cut to remove any stringing and the break-away supports. be careful removing supports, the model has many detailed and thin features. especially with the swords and hoses.
cut the supports away for much better results.
I use a scan of a MMD model as a reference for all dimensions and made print ready with pmx editor and meshmixer. Some features, like the swords and base were made with SolidWorks. i also did a lot of smoothing, the scan had sharp polynomials and edges. The hair was a mess to fix, and lots of work in meshmixer was required. i spent a few months working on this one.
consider donating please, it really helps me stay motivated to keep spending the time to make these amidst my university studies, and the time to take pictures and post these :) thanks
