This print is ready to go and does not need any more fixing to be printed!

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. no cutting or gluing 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

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.

i was inspired by the art i showed in the thumbnail for the pose. thought it was cute

i printed this at .2 mm because i was having issues with extrusion and printed it twice, i think it is because my threaded rods need grease, and it doesnt come in the mail till next week. print this at .1 mm for best 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 job is sucking all my time and on top of that meshmixer keeps crashing so be patient! these things a pain to get printable

Print Settings

Printer Brand:          

Wanhao

Printer:          

Wanhao Duplicator i3 Plus

Resolution:          

.2mm because i did it fast

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 107mm tall including base (4.21 in) i would strongly recommend not printing this any smaller, there are already very small and fragile features as it is.

Post-Printing

just a pliers and a flush cut to remove any stringing and the break-away supports. be carful removing supports, the model has many detailed and thin features. especially with the hair

How I Designed This

this is a scan of an MMD model that posed and edited and made print ready with pmx editor and meshmixer. i also did a lot of smoothing, the scan had sharp polynomials and edges. i was inspired by the art picture for the pose. the hair was a mess to fix, and lots of work in meshmixer was required. i spent a solid 8 hrs working on this model.
