Dungeon Dolls: Bard

thingiverse

Updated 2/19/17 Ever love the diverse designs of FlatMinis, but crave more customization options like Dungeon Dolls? Ever want it all? Look no further! Inspired by the stylish aesthetic of GrumpyRobot's FlatMinis and DutchMogul's Dungeon Doll system, comes Trixster_98's take on the classic Dungeon Doll. This handy Bard features a lute, simple pants, shirt with chain, a robinhood-style hat, and a cape base if you desire or a plain base if not. I printed mine at 200% (Red) and the base stands at 56 mm tall. You can also print at 150% (Grey), which stands at 42 mm. Fully customizable and modular, look for more exciting designs to come in the following weeks. These designs are fully compatible with DutchMogul's original Dungeon Dolls but not with FlatMinis. Made in Tinkercad, red printed at my library, grey printed on my Monoprice MP Select Mini. The remixed and improved version of my 2014 work that was unprintable and abandoned shortly after inception. Post-Printing Printing The pieces should be printed at 150-200% depending on your printer's accuracy. My printer can make all the details clearly visible at 100%, but needs the print to be at 150% for a perfect fit. The picture shows the three sizes of 200%, 150%, and 100%. Preparation To ensure proper fitting, you'll need to lightly sand each piece with a set of needle files. The heads require only minute sanding in the eye holes. My first layer is always slightly off, which needs work in that one spot. The studs attaching to the shirt and pants need light sanding, but the holes should be fine, depending on your printer's accuracy. The shirt stud typically needs a very small amount of sanding compared to the pant studs. The bottom fitting onto the base will most likely need sanding on both the hole and stud, depending on accuracy. Always test fit pieces together as you sand. I'm not responsible for ruined pieces due to excessive sanding.
