This model aims to capture the timeless joy and heroic spirit of Super Mario. I have provided a 4 colour profile that you can get to the original colour by only painting a few highlights white. I painted mine from scratch, Unfortunately, photos make any blemishes stand out on such a small model, but honestly, from 1 step away, it is one of the best models I have ever made. It has a real feel good factor standing on my desk. **************************************************** "Wahoo! You love this Mario model, and I'm so thrilled!

Here’s how to get the best results: **Recommended Machine Type:** FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling). **Materials:** * **Multi-Color (AMS Version - .3MF):** PLA or PLA+ is highly recommended for those classic, vibrant Mario colors. * *Suggested Colors (Classic Mario):* Red (hat, shirt), Blue (overalls), Skin Tone (face, hands), Yellow (buttons, shoe buckles), Brown (shoes, hair, mustache). *Adjust based on your 4-color pre-painted file. You may have combined some elements or used a slightly different palette for a 4-color limit.* **Refer to the pre-painted .3MF file for specific color assignments.** * **Single-Color (STL Version):** PLA, PLA+, PETG. **Print Settings (General Recommendations - Fine-tune to Your Printer):** * **Layer Height (FDM):** * **0.08mm - 0.16mm** is recommended to capture details like his mustache, overall buttons, and the "M" on his hat. Printing at 0.08mm can achieve near-invisible layer lines. * **Infill (FDM):** 10% - 15% is suitable for a display figurine. * **Supports (FDM):** * Yes, supports will likely be needed, especially for his arms, mustache, nose, and potentially the underside of his cap. * **Tree supports (organic supports)** are strongly recommended for easier removal and a cleaner finish on his curved surfaces. * **AMS Printing (.3MF File):** * Ensure your filament order in your Bambu Lab AMS (or similar system) matches the color assignments within the provided .3MF project file for accurate multi-color printing. * **Approximate Size (Default):** 80mm tall :format(webp)/https://fbi.cults3d.com/uploaders/30177156/illustration-file/40e3dc66-f67f-42ec-998a-10d6896e4b91/1745142484631.jpg) OLD VERSION **Assembly:** * This model is designed as a single piece figurine :format(webp)/https://fbi.cults3d.com/uploaders/30177156/illustration-file/aa85b412-09d1-4e38-9d3f-25a217cf87e5/1745142484573.jpg) OLD VERSION **Finishing (Power Up Your Print!):** * **Multi-Color Prints:** Should require minimal finishing beyond careful support removal. * **Single-Color STL Prints:** * Carefully remove all supports. * Light sanding on support interface areas can improve smoothness. * Apply a good quality primer (white or light grey works well for Mario's bright colors). * Acrylic/craft paints are perfect for capturing his iconic color scheme. * A matte or satin varnish will protect your paint job and give a professional look. :format(webp)/https://fbi.cults3d.com/uploaders/30177156/illustration-file/3e7a61ba-49bd-4c3e-9c94-e2449e89d9e4/1745142484566.jpg) OLD VERSION **Safety Standards:** * **Primarily for Decorative Use and Collection.** * This model is not designed as a toy for very young children. If printed with small parts (like overall buttons if printed separately) or if pieces break off, it could pose a **choking hazard for small children.** * Not intended for food contact (unless specific food-safe printing practices are followed for the cake topper idea).
