This character is a mascot for a rare disease research group, Castleman Disease Collabrative Network. He is a warrior. His helmet is in the form of a Castle Wall tower and he wears Knight armour. He resembles a the strength and courage to fight against the Castleman's Disease.
Castleman's Disease is a rare and deadly illness which is caused by the bodies immune system. The immune system attacks the body and organs of the patient. This disease is deadlier than all cancers combined and is common as ALS (Remeber all the ice bucket challenges.) This Castleman Warrior is a reminder to all patients and their loved ones what it is like to be strong and fight with the hopes of finding a cure. To find out more about this disease and help find a cure check out CDCN.org and visit Castleman Warriors to see some of the Castleman Warriors helping to bring awareness to this deadly disease.
I spent several nights to do this model, so please, spend a few minutes and visit the Castleman Warriors web page above. Thank a lot!
PS: you may ask why knight have no sword and where you can get it? Easy - a lot of the swords are available on the Thingiverse, so choose any you like. Just play with it size to fit the knight hand.
Model in pose was fixed, re-download please.
(filename: CastlemanWarriorMascot_combinedInPose_fixed.stl)
Supports:
Yes
Notes:
Model should be printed with the supports! I made another, a sliced version (filename: CastlemanWarriorMascot_FULL_SET_sliced.stl) of it, for easier printing, but it may need supports in some places anyway.
So choose what you like more but I would recommend to print usual, not-sliced version by default (filename: CastlemanWarriorMascot_FULL_SET.stl).
Print the included tolerance test (filename:
CastlemanWarriorMascot_TOLERANCE_TEST.stl) at first - details should not fit too tights or too freely. Adjust print settings if needed.
Use drop of glue to fix the shield handle, that is necessary.
