🏒 Ice Hockey Goalie "Denise": The Cute Puck Stopper – CARTOON EDITION (Singlecolor Print)

Meet Denise, our stylized "chibi" goalie, the ultimate guardian of the net! This figurine combines the intensity of ice hockey with a modern, playful design. With a determined expression, iconic ponytail, and detailed gear, it’s the perfect desk companion for every hockey fan, a unique gift for a teammate, or a stylish addition to your 3D-printed sports collection.

📜 The Spirit of the Crease

While real-life goalies face 100mph slapshots with nerves of steel, our little Denise focuses on charisma and aesthetics. We’ve captured the iconic "ready" stance, complete with oversized leg pads, blocker, and catcher, all wrapped in a friendly and visually clean style. It’s a powerhouse that will instantly brighten up any shelf or office desk.

🎨 Color Printing (No AMS)

No AMS or MMU system is required. The model is designed for easy printing on any standard single-material machine. All parts are printed separately, allowing you to customize colors as you like and assemble them afterward.

🧩 Assembly

Important: We highly recommend a "dry fit" (testing the fit of all parts without glue) before final assembly.

1. Lower Body: Glue the skate blades to the boots. Attach the hockey socks to the boots, and then glue the complete boot/skate assembly to the pants.

2. Leg Pads: Once the legs are ready, glue on the goalie leg pads.

3. Torso: Glue the entire lower body assembly to the jersey.

4. Gloves: Attach the blocker and the glove (catcher) to the arms.

5. Head & Face: Before attaching the head to the body, assemble the face:

   • Insert the face into the head/hair piece and add the mouth.

   • Insert the colored part of the eyes, followed by the white parts.

6. Final Steps: Glue the finished head to the body. Finally, insert the hockey stick (securing it with a drop of glue also helps with overall stability) and finish the assembly by attaching the end cap of the stick.
