Mul Gladiator with Cahulaks - Rikus - Dark Sun

prusaprinters

Update: I have changed the CC license of my models because of the lack of clarity around AI use. If you want to re-mix, reuse, rewhatever my model, just ask..  I made this mul gladiator in Blender based off Brom's classic painting of Rikus.  Since I made these models for my game I thought I would share with others. Some aspects of the design are simplified and exaggerated so that they can be relevant in a miniature scale. It also makes the model easier for FDM printing.  Dark Sun Gladiators:"Rikus had weathered his decades as a gladiator remarkably well, and there was good reason. He was a mul, a hybrid slave bred expressly for arena combat. His father, whom he had never seen, had bestowed upon him the strength and durability of the dwarves. His mother, a haggard woman who had dies in the slavehouses of far-off Urik, had given him the size and agility of men. The burtal trainers who had raised him, whom he recalled as hated tyrants and murderers, had coached him in the ruthless arts of killing and survival. But it was Rikus himself who was responsible for his greatest asset: determination." - From The Verdant Passage by Troy Denning Printing Notes:General Note: I print in FDM so I try to make my models FDM friendly. Though it should be noted that I print at 0.1 to 0.05mm layer heights and with a 0.25mm nozzle. You may find you need to make adjustments to supports to accommodate your printer or print settings. Supports: When I print (FDM) I tend to mix tree supports and standard Prusa Slicer rectilinear supports. I find that tree supports work well for downward pointing tiny fiddly bits and the reclaimer supports work well everywhere else. If you are printing in SLA you will need to generate your own supports. If you are printing in FDM feel free to use my gcode or 3mf file. Keep in mind the gcode specs. One is for 0.25mm nozzle the other is for 0.4mm. Your mileage may vary so you may want to do your own supports. Tiny Fiddly Bits: This model has some tiny fiddly bits that might need extra support tlc. These areas are under the tips of the cahulaks. I did not need to use anything besides rectilinear supports. But,  when making your own supports be mindful of these areas.Tiny Details: Some tiny details will not show up when printing in miniature scale. I just get carried away in Blender sometimes. They don't all print, but I like knowing they are in the model.  Need more muls?https://www.printables.com/model/222853-mul-gladiator-with-carrikals-dark-sunhttps://www.printables.com/model/222856-mul-gladiator-with-dragon-paw-dark-sun Enjoy(next I am working on a set of three fem-mul models!)
