Technical Features and Printing Recommendations:

Recommended Size:Default scale: 100mm (10 cm) height for optimal detail and print stability.The model can be scaled up to 150-200mm (15-20 cm) for enhanced display impact.Smaller prints (under 70mm) may lose fine details, particularly in the face and fur texture.Possible Scaling Issues:Scaling down too much (below 50%) may result in the loss of finer details like the facial features and the fur texture.Scaling up excessively (above 250%) may require reinforcing certain thin areas to maintain structural integrity, especially in FDM printing.Always check wall thickness and ensure details remain printable when adjusting scale.Scaling Note:This model is designed in millimeters (mm). If it appears too small when imported into your slicer, ensure your software is set to mm units. If needed, scale the model up 100x if the slicer defaults to meters instead.

Recommended Settings:Layer Height: 0.1-0.2 mm (for optimal detail)Infill: 10-15% (for strength without excessive filament use)Supports: Not required (model is designed for stable, support-free printing)Recommended Materials:PLA: Provides a smooth, easy-to-print surface with minimal post-processing needed.ABS: Offers durability and heat resistance for a long-lasting figure.Resin: Best for achieving ultra-fine details, particularly for the fur texture and facial features.

Post-Processing:Sanding: Light sanding with fine-grit sandpaper can help smooth out any visible layer lines.Painting: Acrylic paints work best for hand-painting the model, allowing customization of coat colors.Clear Coat: A matte or glossy sealant can be applied to enhance the final look and protect the painted finish.
