Statue of The Hero (Sliced, Alt Base)

thingiverse

This is the "Statue of the Hero" from The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker. I obtained the model from https://www.models-resource.com. I avoided printing the entire thing at once, as that would have required too many supports and compromised quality due to my printer's limitations. My MP Select Mini has a relatively small build volume, which allowed me to scale up the design significantly. The only changes I made to the original model were the sword, shield, and base. I created the base from scratch, making it much smaller than the original to save time and material. I also added the royal family's insignia as an indent on the front instead of a circular emblem. To improve print quality, I designed the shield with a flat back side and added the insignia to the front, which wasn't present in the original model. For the sword, I made it slightly thicker for extra stability. You may want to experiment with the tolerance settings for the holes and pegs to get better results from your printer. Enjoy!
