What's Included:

STL files for the miniature and all frame variants

Generic 3MF containing all STLs for easy import into any slicer

Bambu Studio 3MF with optimized print profiles for A, P, X, and H-Series printers (pre-colorized)

Snapmaker Orca 3MF with optimized print profiles for the Snapmaker U1 (pre-colorized)

Recommended Print Settings:

The included 3MF files contain two highly specialized print profiles: "miniature-classic" and "miniature-arachne". For optimal results, use "miniature-arachne" (note: expect long slicing times).

Due to the nature of geographic terrain data, models may contain non-manifold geometry or areas that require support material. This cannot be avoided. Our included print profiles handle these cases well.

For printers from other manufacturers or other slicers, check our Miniature Printing Guide for recommended settings (especially support settings).

Assembly:

Gently put the miniature into the frame. Depending on your printer's calibration, that should be enough to hold the miniature.

If in doubt, use some super glue. For PLA, I use this glue* (thick variant). I experienced best results with glue that contains Ethyl-2-cyanacrylat.

Hanging Holes: My frames always have a hole pattern divisible by 10 mm - for this miniature's size the "Hanging Hole Distance" results in 60 mm between holes.
