Support-Free Owl Scout Mini Guardian – Owlscout (RootRigs Series)

Support-free mini guardian designed for easy FDM printing — perfect as a desk figure or shelf display.

Description

Designed with printability first:

• No smoke, flames, or floating effects

• Wing-plates and shapes suited to FDM printing

• Works well in single colour or as an AMS multi-colour build
