Penguin - Animal Crossing

I'd like to thank Centrixe for providing me with this fantastic 3D model from Pocket Camp. After ripping and posing it, I added a sturdy base that ensures stability and optimized the entire design for printing purposes. The result is an impressive figurine that prints in two separate pieces which need to be glued together at the end. When it comes to printing settings, I strongly recommend using both a brim and supports to achieve a smooth and even finish. I typically print with a resolution of 0.12 mm. For gluing the two pieces together, I rely on Locite super glue. The process involves aligning the base first, allowing it to dry completely before attaching the head. This approach allows for any warping to be corrected, resulting in a perfectly assembled figurine. The character's design can be adapted to resemble either Roald or Sprinkle from the penguin series, depending on your preference. If you decide to add some color to your figurine, I suggest starting with a primer spray followed by acrylic craft paint. The affordable option from Walmart works great as long as it's thinned with water first. Once the painting is complete, I seal my figurines with Krylon Colormaxx Clear - Flat spray to protect the vibrant colors and maintain their original appearance.
