Included in Monthly Downloads for June and July 2026 Patrons Here: DOWNLOADS..........................................................................................Hi Folks,This month's early release is coming on a very special day... our 20th wedding anniversary! The day we got engaged ⬇️

Now what you came here for hahaha. My wife is in the process of painting a beautiful version, so check back in a couple days for that update :)I really love designing these detailed standing characters. The spartan warrior has a pop-on head to make it posable, and comes with stl, 4 color and 2 color 3mf versions. It includes the Round Shield and Sword too!If you would like to print the Trojan mini short horse, that is a member only file and will not be part of this release to the public. It can be found in the BONUS DOWNLOADS labeled mini horse and chariot. The horse and chariot should be printed at 300% to fit the 100% spartan.* There is also an Exclusive of the larger horse and cart with wheels, and mini gladiator. If you are a newer member and did not receive it a couple years ago, it is $3.99 with your member discount. https://www.myminifactory.com/object/3d-print-exclusive-flexi-factory-gladiator-and-horse-now-3-99-for-tribes-and-patreon-members-377923

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 create the 3mf in bambulab with the X1C settings.

I print with .12 or .16 layer height for quality.

As usual, make sure you have good adhesion, especially the smaller you go. 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 60% and 150% XL for this design. But I recommend 60% or larger to retain detail.

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

1st photo is 100% and 60% 3MF: ESun beige, CC3D Rose Silk, Elegoo Red Brick, Overture Silk Gold, Overture space Gray, Anycubic Gold (the space gray and gold have more of a matte metal look)

2nd photo is 100% 3MF and 400% horse: ESun beige, Anycubic Gold, Overture Space Gray, Sunlu Brown, Anycubic Red, Overture Matte Light Brown

3rd photo is 115% STL: Stronghero Red/Gold/Back Silk Gradient

4th photo is 150% STL and 100% 3MF: CC3d Silk Rose Gold, Eryone Burnt Titanium, Esun Beige, Anycubic Black and Sunlu White

5th photo is 60% mini 2 color 3MF (shield is 115%): Overture Space Gray and Anycubic Gold

Congratulations to such a huge milestone! That's amazing! Love the design! Just maybe a quick question. Is it missing a toe?

DoubleDs

Happy anniversary!!!

Simone

Congrats on 20 years!

Stuart Hancock

Yes, this is why I bought my snap maker U1 for this kind of design

John Whitcomb

Wow this is amazing, just in time for the new Odyssey movie. Absolutely love it. Congratulations on your anniversary, so happy for you both. Thanks for your hard work.

Kelley G

Happy Anniversary !!

Foggydusk

On the printer now!!!

Jude

Massive congratulations and that Spartan is amazing.

Tetsuo Kin

Amazing model, Already got 9 printers on the go ready for a weekend event (Was just Finishing a round of samurai's as this popped up). Will have another 10 on my other machines when i get to the office tomorrow

Dan

Haha. Lost in battle ;) But really, all my standing characters have four toes. Just a silly thing I do!

Blazingale

I love it! Definitely getting loaded up ASAP!

Jez Cajiao

Congratulations! Love the design!

Silvyr

This is amazing!!! Can’t wait to print it for my grandson!

T.J. Rusk

THANK YOU! THANK YOU! Finally something other than an animal. We need more models like this. Hey, How about a He-Man or Skeletor type model. Please more like this.

Dan

I can't do licensed characters unfortunately. But I do have many other non animal designs :) Just did the diver a couple months ago!

Gypsybot6

Congratulations!!! We will hit our 20th in January!

Dan

Its a big one, congrats to you as well!

dcheath

Happy anniversary!

3DNewbie2025

first congrats on 20 years 2nd this is gonna be a blast to print

Jeff McGill

Where is the full cloak version?

T.J. Rusk

I get it. It does not have to be the exact He-Man. Jus something like it. Just more non animal models. Maybe a Viking or something like that. Anyway, keep up the great work.

Brandon Ryan

Happy FLEXIVERSARY 🎂🥂🦖💀🌹

T Paycheck

Happy Anniversary! My husband and I celebrated our 26th today!!!

Dan

Can't print that cloak on a flat surface unfortunately.

Dan

Congrats to you! Amazing

Jeff McGill

I understand that. I was thinking of a full cloak drop on. You put it on before putting the head on. Obviously it prints separately like all of the accessories

Charlie

we dont print with supports right?

Dan

No supports

Michael Wilson

I'm hoping there will be an XL version soon? Please... also really NEED an XL version of the skelly sabertooth tiger

Ray Christenson

Just printed. The shield did not print right underneath. Not sure.

Dan

I did quite a bit of troubleshooting on that, due to overhangs. I was getting great prints... but now a couple of reports. So I will look into an update. I did paint and rotate a specific way due to the way the machine is printing once sliced. But the stl should be good.

steve brown

happy 20th wedding anniversary will you be doing an XL version of this like you did with Anubus

burj570

Looks great! Just started my first print. You should do a skeletized version like the skeletal knight if you do another fund raiser! Happy anniversary! Here's to 20 more!

Charlie

Thank you! i printed on the U1 and my print came out beautiful! So Detailed!

Adam Marion

Spartans prepare for glory!! Love this model thank you so much Flexi Factory!

Grant Miller

I had a few mishaps on the shield , on the h2c is sort of stringed off a few rounds but on my h2d it had issue on the topmost area on the underneath above the handle, all else prints well

Dan

That multicolor is slicing in a weird way. I tried to combat it with a specific rotation/placement and painting and was able to get mine smooth on the x1 multi, h2d multi and ui multi. The single color stl comes out smoothly on all the machines I tested with. The large dome is very different then say a dragon egg, with a pointier top. One reason I have opted out until now to do such a shield. Some may have noticed I switched to arachni instead of classic. This was for the body portion that has painting on the backside. it made the lines much smoother. In testing in classic mode for that shield, I did get the underside smoother.

T Paycheck

Any chance you can do an updated version of the knight to go with this style? Asking for my husband!! He LOVES the Spartan and made me print it in the colors of the company for which he works.

T Paycheck

I'd love to see a whole array of warriors. An updated knight, a Chinese warrior, Native American warrior, Viking, Saracen, lol. I'd love to see the whole gamut!!! I'm sure I missed some!

Wayne

Amazing print, already a hit at our local markets today with a lot of questions around a possible XL version to match the Crystal Warrior and Anubis models Any chance in the future Dan?

Dan

Yes, I will have an XL version shortly

Mike Erickson

This model is amazing. Printed so well on Snapmaker U1!

Dan

I thought the prints on the u1 were great too!

Stephen Straughan

i know you don't usually need supports on your models but does the shield need supports ?

Dan

It does not. I added an update to the 2 color to make sure it is colored a specific way for bridging. But the STL is good to go!

Jude

is there 3mf 4 colour version of the spartan rather than 2 colours

Dan

there is a 2 color and a 4 color included in the zip.

Joni Goodman

Congratulations on your anniversary!!! That's definitely a milestone in this day and age! Love the Spartan..... now you gave me an excuse to buy a bigger machine to print big. Just hitting our 41 yr anniversary. What type of paint and brushes does your wife use to paint the figures?

Dawn

I was wondering the same thing about the toes!!!

don winkelman

WHERE CAN I BUY JUST THIS ALONE?????

Tim Martin

Anyway you could do a female version of this or another warrior this sized?

Sweet Melange

I love the file. I found the Spartan to have very weak knee joints though. :-(

Dan

I am sorry to hear that. All my standing characters have similar joints. Can you message me and I can ask about settings and specifically what you are seeing?
