Included in Monthly Downloads for October - January 2026 Patrons Here: DOWNLOADS..........................................................................................Hi everyone! I am ecstatic about this month's Early Release, the print-in-place Crystal Warrior with Sword accessory. There is something magical about printing a full character, ready to go. 🤩

Every gradient I tried looked amazing with the giant crystal body armor. But if you want to try out multi-color, this model prints a bit quicker with just two colors (yay)!I had an idea to try out both transparent and TPU, and the results did not disappoint. The prism effect on the inside is really special. I was able to capture it in my second photo.Happy Printing -Dan*Please consider tagging @flexifactory/ #flexifactory in your social posts so I can see your amazing prints! AND make sure to share in the private Flexi Factory discord :) Members can join through the settings/apps tab or direct link in pinned post.

Print tips and Info:

STL and 3MF files are included. * If you use the 3mf file, please remember that it is a painted project file for your convenience. You must check your material/printer/settings to make sure it works correctly for your printing project.

I print with .12 or .16 layer height for quality. Consider variable layer height for quality, especially on AMS.

As usual, make sure you have good adhesion, especially for the mini versions. A glue stick works or I have switched to using on all my machines... a BIQU Cryopgrip Frostbite adhesion plate.

I successfully test printed between 50% and 249% for the XL Version.

XXL version must be GLUED together with Super Glue.

Gradient PLA works well with this model: I have a comprehensive list of Filament I use here: Amazon List

Awesome! You should make a shield for it as well so they block off the dragon attacks!

sNp

The XL comment made my day. Thank you. This is going to be a big seller

Dan

Yay. I have to design the original first, then re-design and test. It's a process and I don't like to hold up the main release :)

Dan

I didn't test it, but the shield from the accessory pack should fit.

sNp

I totally understand i appreciate you. This design is amazing Ia do excited to get it on the printer

Tyc3D

YAAAAAAAAAY ITS DONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

eric barker

are you finding that most of the filaments you mentioned run well in the AMS?

3DNewbie2025

First one is done it’s awesome

Dan

I use everything except tpu in the ams. I have even used glow, though that can be abrasive. I run the TPU from the back, directly into the machine.

@d3d_creative

A Crystal Dragon would go well with this 😉

Dan

Yes, many lovely options to choose from :)

MM

This is by far the best thing you have done, and I am huge dinosaur lover. Can we get an alternative head pretty please? That is all I really want for Christmas. I got 2 printed already and going to go seeing how big i can really print it in once piece

Dan

What do you mean by alternative head? I actually went through so many versions to come up with the character haha. Also, there will be an xl cut version very soon.

Blake

Where’s the accessories pack? I have the sword. I already printed one amazing design. I feel like this is going to be a home run.

Dan

If you go to the pinned post under bonuses the accessory pack for the knight is there. I have to be honest I haven't sized it yet and I have not tested how it fits. I was so laser focused on the model and forgot the accessories might fit! I am thinking 115% or 125% for the shield and other weapons fit for the 100% crystal warrior.

Blake

I love the designs great job really and I love the head looks awesome the whole thing is really 🔥

MM

Awesome on the XL. As for alternative head, you sort of have an 80s robot head feel to it. A little like Grimlock from the Transformers kind of. I would take anything to mix it up as I would like to have something a bit different fighting this one.

Adam Jones

1st batch on my printer now! Can't wait to see the kid's reactions to the armies I'm preparing!! Thanks for all your efforts and sharing these with us!!!

ForgePrep3D

I have recently joined, and this was my first print from Flexi Factory, and it's awesome. Is there a way we can share a photo of our print? printed with matte scarlet red from Bambu Labs and silk jade green from cc3d.

Dan

I have posts on social media and you can add your photos. #flexifactory or you can email me at flexifactory@gmail.com or add to the Discord photo area:-)

These guys are awesome

Josh Warmerdam

Love these printed up a set for Market and they were all the rage. Has anyone else had issue with them standing while holding the sword in both hands? The sword seems to add just enough weight to throw it outta balance. I can get it to stand but it takes a few tries.

Dan

It is a heavy sword and I exaggerated it quite a bit , but you can print it lighter weight if you are having issues, this might help :)

Chris

Printed 3 at 63% with no issues. I went with 63% with a fidget cube as a flush object and eyes painted black for a total flush waste of ~15 grams. Not too bad!!! Would love to see a shield for the other hand.

Dan

The accessory pack shield and other weapons fits the hand. I just haven't checked to see what size to scale it to. I think 115?-125%. Next on my list of to-dos :)

Myst 3D

Where can we post our makes?

Dan

You can post on social media. If you go to the xl file post that I released yesterday, I have a direct link to the Facebook with this model. Or you can add to the show off section of Discord. You can find the way to link to that in the pinned post:-)

Austin Zweifel

We have been printing 95% of our prints in TPU.. .LOVE printing in it.. actually going to be printing this in a dark blue TPU. So we have to avoid ball/socket prints, but most others we can do :)

Carlos feliciano

why is it a mission every month to find the files to download? you would post the link right below the model. i click the download tab and get nothing. this is annoying

Dan

I am sorry for your frustration. The link at the top of the page goes to the private download post that the public cannot access. If you sign up for emails you get it sent directly to your email when it's released so you don't have to search for it. I have tried google drive and it presented so many issues with file delivery and people stealing links. As an alternative MMF Tribes is a direct download platform versus here on Patreon. Instantly delivered. I hope this helps you navigate better. I am limited as to how files can be delivered on this site as they keep making changes.

These are my new favorite prints! I need more! MANY MORE! I need a whole line of action figures this size and different styles! These are perfect at 75%. "Flexi Factory Fantasy Warriors!" I'd love to see this happen!

Dawn Lafleur

Hi Dan, I am not seeing where i can download the xl crystal warrior version. It's in my mini factory but I'm not able to download it from the download off of this page or the download page? t keeps saying I need to 3.99 from the vault?

Dan

The crystal warrior is not included any longer on patreon here as a monthly inclusion. I have moved it to the archive for you and others that received it as part of your membership. If you missed the XL, I do have it vaulted on MMF for free. You need to "redeem" the email link I sent you the last few months. This link explains how to redeem those files: https://www.patreon.com/posts/101416737?collection=922854
