Printing Parameters and Finishing

• Slicing Software: Lychee Slicer
• Printer: Resin 3D Printer (e.g., Anycubic Photon Mono X2)
• Resin:
  • Type: White or Gray Standard Resin (for painting)
  • Color: White
• Resin Printing Configuration:
  • Layer Height: 0.04 mm (for a high level of detail on the character and base)
  • Exposure Time per Layer: 2.5 seconds
  • Support Strategy: Medium supports, strategically placed on the underside of Squirtle's limbs and the overhangs of the waves and rocks.
• Estimated Print Time: 6-8 hours
• Post-processing and Painting:
  • Washing: The printed model (likely in separate parts: Squirtle and the base) is washed in Isopropyl Alcohol (IPA) to remove uncured resin.
  • Curing: The pieces are fully cured under a UV light.
  • Assembly: Squirtle is glued to the base.
  • Painting: The figure is meticulously painted by hand using acrylic hobby paints to match the character's classic colors. The base is also hand-painted, with careful layering to create the effect of sand, water, and foam.
  • Varnish: A clear, semi-gloss varnish is applied to the water and Squirtle's shell to give them a slight sheen, while a matte varnish is used on the rest of the figure.
