Lucy Luke

Here are the recommended slicer settings (for OrcaSlicer, PrusaSlicer, Bambu Studio, Cura, etc.) using 1.75 mm PLA filament and a 0.4 mm nozzle to print the Lucky Luke figure shown in the image:

1. Quality & Layer Settings

• Layer Height: 0.10 mm to 0.12 mm

  • Note: A low layer height ensures smooth transitions along curved surfaces like the cowboy hat, face, arms, and boots.

• First Layer Height: 0.20 mm (for optimal bed adhesion).

• Line Width: 0.42 mm (Default/Auto).

2. Support Settings (Essential)

Due to numerous overhanging features (hat brim, outstretched hands, bandana, gun holster), supports are mandatory:

• Enable Supports: Yes

• Support Structure: Tree Supports

  • Advantage: Tree supports wrap around delicate limbs and are significantly easier to break away without snapping thin parts like fingers or accessories.

• Support Placement: Everywhere

• Overhang Threshold Angle: 45°

• Top Z Distance: 0.16 mm to 0.20 mm (for clean breakaway interface).

3. Bed Adhesion & Stability

• Build Plate Adhesion: Outer Brim (5 – 8 mm)

  • Crucial: Since the figure stands on very small contact areas (just the soles of the boots), a wide brim prevents the print from detaching or tipping over mid-print.

4. Walls & Infill

• Wall Loops / Perimeters: 3

• Top / Bottom Shells: 4 Top / 4 Bottom

• Infill Density: 10% to 15%

• Infill Pattern: Gyroid

5. Temperature, Speed & Cooling

• Nozzle Temperature: 200°C – 205°C

• Bed Temperature: 60°C

• Outer Wall Speed: 30 – 50 mm/s (slower speeds preserve fine facial and clothing details).

• Cooling Fan: 100% (after layer 2).
