This is a remix of the head of @CalsTechConcepts's Symbiote Moveable Figure designed for single-color printers. It is an alternative solution to the options presented for single-color printing in the description of the original file. Rather than print out some very tiny facial features and try to glue them in their correct places on the head, I found it easier to print the head completely in black and then paint the mouth, tongue, teeth and eyes.
To optimize for painting, I slightly recessed all the facial features into the head so that there would be a small depth differential between the features and the rest of the head, creating a natural border that - for me at least - makes it much easier to paint within the lines.
Suggested printer settings:
- Nozzle size 0.4mm
- Layer height 0.2mm
Suggested paint supplies:
- White, red, and black acrylic paints (black in case you get some white or red onto the rest of the face where it doesn't belong - honestly black sharpie can work here too)
- Very tiny brushes
Hope someone finds this helpful!
