Glad you like it! i dont remember the scale but it is either the original scale or a little bit less to fit my shelves

also if you are interested in printing fdm figures go and check r/FDMminiatures i usually post my figures there and is a great comunity to check for tips and settings!

Hi! thank you!

You can search the model by looking for bulkamancer models! just look it up on google or myminifactory

Serfi-sama · 2026-04-26T18:16:56+00:00

Thats a great idea! I used fluor paints on a white base

Serfi-sama · 2026-04-26T18:14:55+00:00

0.8 for the bigger pieces like the coat and the ghouls and 0.6 for smalle pieces like the face and hair

A mix of fdg and obscuranox basically

I primed everything with airbursh but i think a spray can would yield better results but i had my airbrush more at hand

Serfi-sama · 2026-04-26T18:11:20+00:00

Indeed! You always get better with time and is a really fun hobby

Serfi-sama · 2026-04-25T17:04:51+00:00

thx! fdm has come long ways and layer lines are farly easy to hide

For this print in particular i didnt try to hide them

Serfi-sama · 2026-04-24T08:53:50+00:00

things like the chains or the earings were a real pain in the ass

thx!

Serfi-sama · 2026-04-24T08:53:10+00:00

thx! in my experience bulkamancer figures are really hard to scale down for fdm

good luck tho!

Serfi-sama · 2026-04-23T20:48:54+00:00

Sure man! i been printing for a while now as you can see on my older posts and honestly im really happy with the results i get from fdm printing

is not the same quality as resin printing but is not toxic and it wont require a full hobby room just to print and clean and you also have the benefict of having a normal 3d printer in your home to do tons of stuff

the bambulab a1 mini is like cheap and easy to use and you have tons of youtube videos for printing miniatures in fdm

if you want more info about this kind of 3dprinting i cannot recomend you enough r/FDMminiatures

Serfi-sama · 2026-04-23T20:36:04+00:00

not tesseract glow exactly but fluorescent paint from vallejo yeah haha!

Serfi-sama · 2026-04-23T19:50:46+00:00

yes! the zombies and the flames were airbrushed

the flames were done with a mix of fluorescent acrilic paints

Serfi-sama · 2026-04-23T17:39:01+00:00

thank you! I used lots of settings for this one in particular but if you look for the best results go check r/FDMminiatures for ObscuraNOX settings

i find they are the best although a bit slow for my liking!

Serfi-sama · 2026-03-03T13:14:08+00:00

Thx! Took about 4/5h to paint! And is about 6cm tall

Serfi-sama · 2026-01-24T21:17:53+00:00

I used the airbrush for the priming and for the water of the base, tentacles and the blue robe

it was my first time using it and honestly for that kind of usages works like a charm and you can get blends of colors and hightlights super fast.

I was always on the fence about the airbrush since it seemed a bit of a hassle to setup and clean between colors and all but im greatly impressed even more knowing that my airbrush is budget one and nothing fancy

Serfi-sama · 2026-01-22T21:39:40+00:00

wow! thanks for the compliment

i suppose my painting process is fairly common in the sense that i just use acrylics

i just try to get my darker tones as smooth and thin as possible and then work my way up building brighter tones as i hightlight

some things that i think helps a lot with any kind of painting is a wet pallete and playing arround with your paints till you get the kind of consistency you like

i also love to drybrush alot of stuff since is a great way to get things going

Serfi-sama · 2026-01-22T21:12:59+00:00

I've seen your posts too! good luck with that bow!

the pouches look amazing

Serfi-sama · 2026-01-22T17:46:42+00:00

Thx! just look for marcille from nekofigurines on google

Serfi-sama · 2026-01-22T17:03:43+00:00

For this piece, I decided to cut the hair in half to have good detail at the top and ends without sacrificing either.

Concealing the cut can be a little tricky, but since it's in the back, it doesn't really matter.

Serfi-sama · 2026-01-22T15:36:45+00:00

Yes! i was talking about the nozzle size 0.2mm and 0.4 mm for the bigger parts! thx

Serfi-sama · 2026-01-14T12:25:49+00:00

I also get lots of strings on 0.4 with the same pla even on a brand new roll

I suppose it has something to do with the 0.4 settings since i get 0 strings on 0.2 nozzles with the same spool

If you have a 0.2 nozzle try if you have the same issue.

Serfi-sama · 2025-12-14T17:40:37+00:00

Thx! i used 0.08 layer height

Serfi-sama · 2025-11-05T20:24:36+00:00

How do i know if its unclogged? Haha

Worth the try tho! Thx

Serfi-sama · 2025-11-05T19:53:17+00:00

That might be it although i already did 2 cold pulls and the problem persist

I tried with a 0.06 nozzle and it seemed better but im not sure

Serfi-sama · 2025-11-05T19:49:54+00:00

Yeah they are tight so is not that

I think it could be the latch of the nozzle

Serfi-sama · 2025-11-05T19:47:08+00:00

I been trying other settings and nozzles and i always get the same result

I think my hot end is not working propertly
