• Premium JPG/JPEG renders (95/100): clean marketing visuals + thumbnails
• 5-second cinematic 360° showcase video: quick visual storytelling for shops/social
• Animated GIF: lightweight preview for listings and messaging

3D PRINT SETTINGS (Practical guidance)These are general best-practice settings that work well for stylized character minis and desk figures. Your best values can vary based on printer, resin, filament, and scale.

Recommended scale

• Desk figure: 80–120 mm tall
• Mini size: 50–75 mm tall
• Display statue: 150–250 mm tall

FDM (Filament) — beginner-friendly

• Layer height: 0.12–0.20 mm (0.16 mm is a sweet spot)
• Nozzle: 0.4 mm (0.2 mm for extra detail if supported)
• Infill: 10–15% (20% for sturdier big models)
• Walls/perimeters: 2–3
• Supports: “Tree” supports recommended (especially for ears, chin/beard tips)
• Orientation: upright is fine; if ears overhang too much, tilt slightly back (~10–15°)
• Brim: yes (helps stability)

Resin (SLA/DLP) — best detail

• Layer height: 0.03–0.05 mm
• Supports: medium supports under ears, beard tips, and arms
• Orientation: tilt ~20–35° to reduce suction + preserve face detail
• Post: wash + cure per resin brand; light sanding for support marks

Notes for best resultsBig ears & hair tips can be delicate at small scales. If printing mini-size, consider:

• printing slightly larger, or
• using resin for sharper detail, or
• increasing wall thickness in your slicer if needed
