Dwarf Figures

thingiverse

These three dwarf figures stand at approximately 28mm scale. I've chosen to follow Tolkien's lead in scaling dwarfs relative to humans, unlike some fantasy stories that depict them as nearly twice the size of men. This set is designed to print easily without supports, with only a few stray hairs remaining. The included models are: A dwarf carrying swords in his arms A dwarf wielding a shield and pike A dwarf proudly holding a hammer aloft The story I've crafted for these dwarfs revolves around the father figure, who wields a hammer above his head, as if he's working at a blacksmith shop. The tale goes that this dwarf is the patriarch of two brothers, one of whom chose to break with family tradition by joining the city's army. Meanwhile, the other brother remained true to their heritage and began working alongside their father in the blacksmith shop. While the father respects his son's decision, the brother remains deeply committed to upholding their family's legacy. Note: I encountered an issue slicing these models, which might be attributed to my slicer rather than a problem with the design itself. In some cases, parts of the model failed to register during the gcode creation process, resulting in gaps within the print. If you experience similar difficulties, try increasing the infill percentage to 100% (or as high as your settings allow) and reprint the model. Given their small size, this adjustment should not significantly impact print time or filament usage.
