Model Overview & Print Notes

Meet your new desk companion: The Overworked Programmer. This stylized skull figurine is caught in the eternal grind, typing away furiously on his miniature laptop. Designed specifically as a "shelf sitter," its legs dangle perfectly over the edge of your 3D printer, computer monitor, or office desk, making it the ultimate tech-themed workspace decor.

Whether you are a software engineer, IT professional, or just someone who feels bone-tired by the end of the workweek, this high-detail model brings a touch of dark, relatable humor to your setup.

Print Profile & Recommended Settings

This model is highly optimized for FDM printing to ensure crisp details on the skeletal frame and clean layer lines across the laptop surface.

  • Layer Height: 0.12mm to 0.16mm (Highly recommended for capturing the fine details of the skull and smooth facial features)
  • Infill: 10-15% (Gyroid recommended for optimal internal strength)
  • Wall Loops: 3 (Ensures the thinner arm bones and laptop screen are sturdy)
  • Supports: No supports required! The model is designed to print clean out of the box if your cooling and bridging calibration are tuned.
  • Material: Matte Gray PLA, PETG, or Bone White PLA
