Final Fantasy IX - Vivi

thingiverse

I stumbled upon this Sketchfab model available for download: https://sketchfab.com/models/5edb4f4c8a4b47d2a735807f0f4646cc At first, I thought it was the Vivi model I wanted to print, but then I realized that when flying particles are included, they won't print well. So, I deleted them and kept only the pose of Vivi. My plan is to print both large and small models, which will later be painted. Next, I upgraded the model with these changes: V2-1 added a full base at the bottom. V2-2 remeshed the original model, which had flaws that made it unsuitable for 3D printing. It printed well on Cura with supports everywhere and reached a height of 9cm. However, it was still fragile and required re-gluing. V2-3 added supports using Meshmixer, removed the base, and tried to print it again. V3 attempted to improve the model but some supports were too tightly tied to the hat and staff, causing the mini figure to break. Despite this, the result looked pretty good after cleaning up. V5 is a much more stable version, with cleaner supports that are easier to remove without breaking the model. It reached a height of 90mm without any issues.
