Universal profile for FDM/filament

Slicer: ****, PrusaSlicer, or OrcaSlicer

Material: PLA recommended for ease; other similar PLA-like materials are fine

Nozzle and layers

Nozzle: 0.4 mm

Optional: 0.25 mm if you need extreme precision and long print times.

Layer height: 0.16 mm

Optional: 0.12 mm for maximum detail, but slower printing.

First layer height: 0.24 mm (1.5× standard layer, helps with adhesion)

Temperature and fan

Nozzle: 205°C

Bed: 60°C

Fan: 100% from layer 3 onwards

Walls and infill

Wall lines: 3

Top / Bottom layers: 5

Infill: 15%

Pattern: Gyroid

Good compromise between strength and material quantity.

 Supports

Supports: ON

Placement: Everywhere

Pattern: Tree if available

because it reduces material, is easier to remove, and leaves fewer marks than traditional supports; especially useful for characters and figures, as highlighted in the **** Tree Supports guides.

Tom's Hardware

Overhang angle: 50°

Density: 12%

Z distance: 0.2 mm

(If you don't have Tree, use normal supports with moderate density, but remember to add more contact points only where necessary.)

Orientation

Statue slightly tilted, about 10–15° from vertical

Base supported without being perfectly flat

Avoid leaving it upright for too many hours: better support distribution and fewer marks

Universal resin profile

Recommended slicers: Lychee or Chitubox

Printers: Any consumer LCD/DLP/SLA

Resin: Standard or ABS-like

Quality

Layer height: 0.05 mm

Optional: 0.03 mm if you want ultra-detail and printing is very slow.

Antialiasing: ON

AA level: 4

Gray: 6

Exposure and motion

Bottom layers: 6

Bottom exposure: 35 s

Normal exposure: 2.6 s

Light-off delay: 0.5 s

Lift distance: 6 mm

Lift speed: 60 mm/min

Retract speed: 150 mm/min

(These parameters are a good starting point for many resins; if your resin is denser or ABS-like, you can slightly increase the Normal exposure, such as +0.2-0.3 s).

 Hollow / Hollowing

Wall thickness: 3 mm

Infill: OFF

Drain holes:

2 x 5 mm holes

One under the base, one on the back of a leg, or under the foot

Supports

Use various types to avoid marks on visible areas:

Heavy

Tip: 0.5 mm

Shaft: 1.2 mm

Where: feet, heels, rock base, other surfaces in contact with the build plate

Medium

Tip: 0.35 mm

Shaft: 0.8 mm

Where: legs, back, shoulders, non-sensitive areas

Light

Tip: 0.25 mm

Shaft: 0.6 mm

Where: behind the helmet, fine details

❌ Avoid supports on: chest, abdomen, front of the helmet.

The idea is to reduce contact points on smooth, visible surfaces.

Orientation

Tilt: approximately 35°

Slight rotation on the Z-axis

Never lay flat on the build plate
