Flexi Factory Samurai Early Release!!!

Added 2024-02-15 23:56:13 +0000 UTC

Anyone else not sleep for the past two weeks?!? Worth it :)

This character has been high on my list of must-do's for about a year. I had fun figuring out how to model the rope detail and scoured through thousands of amazing historical armor and recreations. The knights accessory pack in the bonus post fit perfectly, and I was surprised to find out that many of the weapons Samurai and Knights used are very similar. But I also added a katana for this release.

Shout out to my wife Briana who really outdid herself on the 140% painted version above. She had to sit still all day while I finished up test prints. She started with Plasport Matte Blue/Green/Red a new to me color that is incredible colors. And it doesn't hurt that they also printed my Imperial dragon as the marketing image. Then she painted details and here is her list of SUPPLIES

Printing tips and Info:

- I print print with .12 layer height, 3 walls and 15% infill, no supports. I do not use a brim, but opt for a cool plate and disappearing purple glue stick. Ain't nobody got time in my house for adhesion issues hahaha.
- 2nd photo has a 50% and a 125%. I printed primarily in: Amolen Gold/Purple to finish out the roll. then swapped to Ziro Silver/Gray
- Prusa and Bambu 3mf files are included, add and subtract colors and needed. I chose 3 because it is a very detailed loooong print for multi-color. Working on 2 100% and will post when completed. 1 day, 14 hours.

I am so excited to see the variations of what YOU will come up with, so please tag @flexyfactory #flexifactory on social media if you're willing to share.

Happy almost the weekend and Happy printing -Dan
