Printing Recommendations

Recommended Material: PLA / PLA+
Layer Height: 0.12–0.20 mm
Walls: 2–3
Infill: 10–15%
Supports: May be required beneath the chin, arms, chest, and other overhanging areas depending on size and orientation
Brim: Optional
Print Orientation: Upright on the included base

For the best balance of detail and print time, 0.16 mm layer height is a great starting point. For maximum surface detail, consider 0.12 mm.

Finishing Tip

This model works especially well with dark metallic, stone, bronze, or weathered finishes.

For a finish similar to the example print, start with a dark base color and lightly dry brush the raised fur, facial features, chest, and shoulders with a brighter metallic tone. The deep sculpted texture will naturally create strong highlights and shadows.

Assembly

No assembly required if printed as a single model.

Carefully remove any supports around the face, chin, shoulders, and finer fur areas to preserve the sculpted detail.

Designer Notes

This bust is designed around bold, exaggerated forms and deep texture so the character of the gorilla remains visually strong after printing.

The large facial features, muscular upper body, and layered fur also make this model particularly well suited for painting, dry brushing, and other finishing techniques.
