Designed to be easy to print, fun to paint, and impossible to ruin completely — though you’re welcome to try.

🦾 Recommended Materials

White PLA (because you’ll cover it in paint anyway)

Acrylics (green, brown, yellow, blue, gray, and the color of regret)

Questionable-quality brushes

Patience. Lots of it.

🛠 Difficulty

Easy to print. Hard to paint without crying.

🛠 Print Specs

Layer height: 0.12 mm (Because quality matters… or so they tell me.)

Infill: 8% gyroid (The perfect balance between strength and ‘I refuse to waste PLA.')

Supports: Necessary (Just like the emotional support I pretend I don’t need.)

Brim: Not necessary (Much like my gym membership.)

Material: PLA Matte White (The ideal color to showcase every painting mistake in HD.)

Model height: 15 cm — fully scalable (Go ahead, scale it up… disappointment scales too.)

Estimated print time: About 20 hours on an ******** Kobra S1 (Yes, twenty hours. Go live your life while it prints.)

Material usage: ~200 g of PLA (Roughly the weight of my self-esteem after painting it.)

Plate: Coolplate recommended (Because the only thing that should be hot is online drama.)

🖌 Painting Notes

Leaves painted with the “I don’t have time for drybrush” technique

Moon has yellow-orange gradients that look like a burnt pancake

Rocks? Gray. With green smudges, because moss is everywhere

Base has brown streaks that scream “I didn’t use masking tape”

It’s not perfect. But it’s yours. And every wonky brushstroke is a badge of honor.
