Enchanted Gnome Guardians Collection Modello di stampa 3D

These stout little guardians spring to life at the crossroads of folklore and steampunk. Each gnome bears unique armor, miniature gadgets, and spirited expressions—perfect for tabletop role-playing, dioramas, or as a whimsical desk companion. Designed as a single solid mesh, you can print them without worrying about assembly or tiny fragile connectors.

AI & ARTIST CREATIVITY DISCLOSURE

This collection was co-created using cutting-edge AI 3D generators and then lovingly refined by a human artist for balanced proportions, crisp details, and optimal printability.

3D PRINT SETTINGS & TIPS

1. Orientation:

   • Print standing upright on the base of the feet. No supports are strictly necessary for most poses, but a light touch of supports under overhanging arms or hats can help ensure crisp details.

2. Layer Height:

   • 0.1 mm for miniatures with fine facial details

   • 0.15–0.2 mm for faster draft prints

3. Infill:

   • 15–20% gyroid or honeycomb

   • If you want a bit more weight for sturdiness, bump to 25%

4. Shells / Walls:

   • 2–3 perimeters to capture armor ridges cleanly

5. Supports:

   • Use light Touch-L-type supports under deep overhangs (e.g., wide arms, hat brims). If your slicer has “tree supports,” they work beautifully and peel away easily.

6. Print Speed:

   • 40–50 mm/s for best detail

7. Bed Adhesion:

   • A thin brim or skirt helps stabilize the narrow feet; blue painter’s tape or a light PVA glue stick works great.

8. Filament Recommendations:

   • PLA or PLA+ for crisp detail and ease of printing

   • PETG if you need slightly more durability (just watch bridging)

9. Post-Processing:

   • Wet-sand gently with 400–800 grit for super-smooth armor

   • Primer with a gray or white spray primer helps acrylics pop

   • Consider a fine wash (thinned dark paint) in crevices to accent shadows
