Project Hail Mary Rocky Action Figure - Official Model

I did not make this model, but decided to upload it here so it is preserved. Just in case it gets deleted from official site (https://projecthailmary.com/). 

3D Model Print Instructions

Rocky Action Figure Instructions

This model includes 2 figure style option:

• Articulated Action Figure (1 body and 11 limb pieces)

• Statue (1 static posed figure)

Both model styles include two file options:

• Supported STL – Pre-supported and ready to print

• Unsupported STL – Ideal if you want to scale the model or create your own custom supports

The figure can be printed using either a resin or filament (FDM) 3D printer.
At 100% scale, the figure prints at approximately 3 inches tall.

Printing Steps

• Step 1 – Choose your figure style option - statue or articulated figure

• Step 2 – Choose your file type

  • Option A: Supported STL

    • Supports are already included and optimized for printing

    • No additional edits are required before slicing

  • Option B: Unsupported STL

    • Scale the model to any size you prefer

    • You will need to generate supports before printing

    • Most slicers offer both automatic and manual support options

• Step 3 – Import file
  Download and import the STL file into your slicer program (such as Chitubox, Bambu Studio, or Lychee).

• Step 4 – Prepare the print
  Use your slicer to generate the print layout and settings required for your specific 3D printer.

• Step 5 – Post-Print
  Once printing is complete:

• Carefully remove the supports

• For easier removal, place the model in warm water to soften the supports and reduce surface damage

Pro Tips:

• For all prints- 

  • Resin prints will capture finer detail than filament prints

  • For best results, print at a 0.03–0.05 layer height (resin) or 0.1–0.2 (FDM)

  • Always clean resin prints in isopropyl alcohol or similar resin cleaning product fully after printing.

  • If printing in resin make sure to cure the figure with UV light based on your resins recommendations.

• Articulated figure print-

  • For optimal resin printing you will want a resin with a mix of strength and elasticity. A recommended mixture for this figure with moving parts is ½  Resione Th-72 mixed with ½ Tough74.  Resins that don't have enough elasticity may be too brittle for this figure.

  • When assembling the articulated version you may want to heat up the cavities with warm water or a blow dryer for easier assembly.

  • See the labeled diagram below for proper assembly of the articulated figure. 

  • There are 2 options for his left hand that you can choose from.  An open hand (1C)  or closed hand (1B).
