Darth Vader Buddha with saber

thingiverse

I'm excited to share that I've completely revamped the Darth Buddha model to eliminate any support requirements for a flawless print. By flattening the base and reworking the head, this revised version fits together perfectly, making it easy to load into your printer without the need for extra supports. Take a closer look at my enhanced model - I've added a striking chest plate that completes the intimidating Darth Vader appearance. Unfortunately, no photograph can truly do justice to the level of detail and polish on display. I've also taken the liberty of creating a smaller version of this model after fine-tuning it using MeshLab's expert mesh smoothing features. This streamlined design ensures optimal results with reduced support requirements, perfect for printing on most 3D printers. This revamped Darth Vader bust boasts several key improvements: Firstly, I've modified the iconic cowl to seamlessly integrate into the model's back design, eliminating the need for additional supports. I've also redesigned the chest plate to incorporate a subtle edge that grounds the decorative elements within, rather than making them appear like floating components. The minimalistic structure of this Darth Vader bust ensures reduced overhangs and optimal printing without excessive support requirements. Please note that your specific printer's capabilities may dictate if you need additional support in areas like the helmet near the eyes. Lastly, to complete the dramatic presentation, I've opted to place his trusty lightsaber at the foot of a majestic pedestal - though it might interest you to know that holding the saber could be an exciting upgrade to explore further! Without any doubt, this revamped model has cemented its position as the ultimate Darth Buddha print. If printing isn't your forte, fear not - I have both a small and large version available for purchase on Etsy: **Small Version: https://www.etsy.com/listing/575330701/darth-vader-buddha-with-saber-3d-print** **Large Version: https://www.etsy.com/listing/554694326/large-8-darth-vader-buddha-with-saber-3d** Printing Details: The previous lego-like design of the model doesn't require any supports, whereas this revised Darth Vader bust model may need a small amount of support for optimal results in the areas with complex details like on top of the helmet near the eyes. **Print settings:** Please use infill levels between 15% and 25% along with .3mm skin (1-2 walls) for the most pleasing and efficient results.
