Whether you’re a desk-decor enthusiast, a tabletop gamer, or a wildlife art lover, this Sentinel brings both character and conversation to any space.

3D PRINT SETTINGS & TIPS

To help you achieve the best results, here are our tried-and-true recommendations:

• Printer Type: FDM / PLA is easiest; PETG works great if you want a glossier finish.

• Nozzle: 0.4 mm standard; you can go down to 0.2 mm for extra detail on the armor edges.

• Layer Height: 0.12–0.20 mm

• Infill: 15–20% gyroid or honeycomb for a sturdy but lightweight part

• Supports:

  • Minimal supports under the belly and between the horn & head overhang

  • Use tree-style supports to reduce cleanup marks

• Build Plate Adhesion: Brim (5–7 mm) helps stabilize the wide feet

• Print Orientation:

  • Upright on all four feet

  • Horns pointing forward to minimize delicate support removal

• Print Speed: 40–50 mm/s for crisp detail on the plating

• Estimated Print Time: ~8–12 hours (depending on your layer height and infill)

• Post-Processing:

  1. Gently remove supports, sand jump lines.

  2. Apply a thin primer coat to reveal surface details.

  3. Paint metallic accents (bronze, gunmetal) and matte body tones for contrast.

• Bookend or Shelf Accent: Its weight and footprint make it a stable décor piece.
