Resources

Filament: Polymaker PLA Matte White or ZERO Basic Skin Color PLA

Clear coat finish: Rust-Oleum Matte Clear Coat or if you want glossy look Rust-Oleum Clear Gloss

-----------------------------

(if you have a multi-color AMS printer, you can also just print the colored 3mf file, but in our opinion, a real post-processing will always give a more real lifelike touch and originality to the prints!)

Post-processing steps:

Prepare & Prime: Clean your model and apply a smooth coat of Rust-Oleum Painter's Touch Primer. Let it dry completely.

Painting: Use acrylic paints to add details such as spots, stripes, and shading. Apply darker colors around eyes, joints, and specific markings.

Extra Texturing: Use a fine brush for small areas and sponge dabbing techniques for texture.

Sealing: Finish with Rust-Oleum Matte or Gloss Clear Coat for durability. (Allow each layer to dry fully before moving to the next for the best results.)
