***UPDATE*** I added the 3mf files for Prusa (2 and 4 colors) and Bambu (4 colors) Slicers.

Let the games begin! I had to make some last minute changes to the helmet to make sure it was strong when you reduce the size. I even went back and forth with no holes, but I am VERY happy with this design.

He stands, he holds the sword with both hands or a single hand, his helmet flips up and down.

I am still prepping the 3mf files, and will get them out asap. Just wanted to make sure everyone gets this before the weekend :)

***probably worth mentioning all those little heads and hands and swords were test prints. Also, for dramatic effect hahahaha***

Happy printing and I cannot wait to see your prints. -Dan

If we have trouble with the astronaut helm would we have trouble with this helm?

Darknynja

This is fantastic.

Dan

This is a different mechanism so it does not have the same issues.

Mishelle Bookout

Dude! The decapitated fellow knights! How rude! 😂😂

Cathy Wingrove

Now you need to make a skeleton knight that got burned up by the dragon. Then you can have before and after lol

Dan

The dragon got them. oops

Mark Madrid

This is absolutely awesome Dan

GeekMatter

SubSector3d

Nic Wilson

Mark Madrid

File is sliced with two swords,now just have to wait for a printer to free up, have four running right now, all your stuff, 2 kittens, a kangaroo and a. Phoenix. building another printer tomorrow and saving for a bamboo!

Thor

Painted and sliced 2 and 2 swords. Be done in 16 hours. I also did 2 at 100% swords as well and be done in 9 hours Silver Silk.

What a great model! Any plans for a Joan of Ark? There's little girls that run around my office. The first thing they say is....it's not a GIRL?! Any plans for a Joan of Arc or girl astronaut? I love them either way!

Lioness2000

Wow! This is so cool! That's it,, I'm getting a bambo!!

Dave's Dragons

I got mine sliced as a single with 1 sword in Orange to Yellow Color change. Can't wait to see him. Also saving up and want a bamboo SO BAD, but it seems like an impossible goal at this point. :P

BonArt

Printing it now :) I'm trying silver PLA :)

John McMahon

Silk Black PLA with sword in clear.. Hopefully

Johnny Wilson

This is a cool model but why does it look like the visor is upside down?

Richard Knight

As a Knight in surname its going on the printer now :-)

Dan

Went back and forth and just liked this aesthetic better.

Beau Buege

Sweet this model is great he needs an armored horse for his journey to slay the dragon

Johnny Wilson

Either way it printed beautifully, he's very regal as a knight should be.

Hey Dan what are your recommended slicer settings for this print? (Quality, seam position, infill, temperatures, speeds) I know every printer is different and every printing environment affects the settings I am just looking for a baseline. Thank you so much. (I have a ender 3S1Plus)

The Creation Circus

Hi Dan! Any chance of giving this Knight a shield to go with his sword?? Love this model! Can’t wait for the 3MF files.

Dan

The 3mf files are already posted. And yes, possibly as a bonus. I had to make the hands a specific way to hold the sword and the shield works in a very different way.

William Ridley

How about adding a battle axe and a flag to the collection? Just finished in silver silk and look great. Just waiting for my Bambu to show up

Dan

Ooh. Great ideas!

Michael Morse

Receiving an infill error from SuperSlicer. If I set infill to 0, it slices; anything above 0 returns an error. Only seems to happen with this particular model. Could be user error, but thought I'd share.

RavenHuff Acres

Such a great idea!! I am so excited for this to possibly happen!

Thea, just Thea

Nice! I love the idea of extras for this guy! Maybe a sort of an "L" on the back of the shield so it slips into his hand and is parallel with the back of his hand? I can already see this in different colors - I want to do silver, painted with rusty bits and a worn crest on his chest.

Dan

I've never used the slicer. Maybe the file is corrupt?

Dan

I use pretty standard settings . I don't have a great profile for that machine to share, but I always print with 3 walls, 15% infill. And for a clean print, I slow it down and go with a .12 layer height. 200 degrees is pretty standard, Seam position is sharpest corner for me.

Tiffany Gobkes

Printing this in copper, gold, silver tricolor right now. :) Excited to see how it looks. I'll have to paint the face manually but I spent all day painting a model for my husband so some small details won't kill me. :b Some day I shall get a Bambu 3d Printer.

Ryan Corsi

what type of paint do you folks have the best success with on PLA?

Tiffany Gobkes

I do a lot of my painting with just normal acrylic paints that I have. They work pretty well. I finish off the details and grudging of things with miniature paints and a complimenting wash.

Tiffany Gobkes

It came out pretty great! I need to test printing the sword slightly smaller than the knight. I printed him and the sword at 60% and it doesn't slide all the way into his hand so I'll just scale it down a touch more and try again. :) I also am tempted to try fitting him with some other tiny weapon models I have (I think I mostly have other types of swords but he has a hand to hold things and I have to play with this idea now.)

TheArtifactWorkshop

Or maybe a princess knight! My girls have liked “the princess in black” books - and she isn’t a damsel who needs rescuing!

Elle

Ahhh I would love a princess knight soooo much 😍😍😍

ToXiC FisCYN

i printed one sword for each hand :D

Cauge Bond

Request? How about a stone to hold the sword and a dragon head like he slayed the dragon
