Rocky Action Figure Instructions

This model includes 2 figure style option:

●     Articulated Action Figure (1 body and 11 limb pieces)

●     Statue (1 static posed figure)

Both model styles include two file options:

●     Supported STL – Pre-supported and ready to print

●     Unsupported STL – Ideal if you want to scale the model or create your own custom supports

The figure can be printed using either a resin or filament (FDM) 3D printer.
At 100% scale, the figure prints at approximately 3 inches tall.

Printing Steps

●     Step 1 – Choose your figure style option - statue or articulated figure

●     Step 2 – Choose your file type

○     Option A: Supported STL

■     Supports are already included and optimized for printing

■     No additional edits are required before slicing

○     Option B: Unsupported STL

■     Scale the model to any size you prefer

■     You will need to generate supports before printing

■     Most slicers offer both automatic and manual support options

●     **Step 3 – Import file
**Download and import the STL file into your slicer program (such as Chitubox, Bambu Studio, or Lychee).

●     **Step 4 – Prepare the print
**Use your slicer to generate the print layout and settings required for your specific 3D printer.

●     **Step 5 – Post-Print
**Once printing is complete:

●     Carefully remove the supports

●     For easier removal, place the model in warm water to soften the supports and reduce surface damage

Pro Tips:

●     For all prints-

○     Resin prints will capture finer detail than filament prints

○     For best results, print at a 0.03–0.05 layer height (resin) or 0.1–0.2 (FDM)

○     Always clean resin prints in isopropyl alcohol or similar resin cleaning product fully after printing.

○     If printing in resin make sure to cure the figure with UV light based on your resins recommendations.

●     Articulated figure print-

○     For optimal resin printing you will want a resin with a mix of strength and elasticity. A recommended mixture for this figure with moving parts is ½  Resione Th-72 mixed with ½ Tough74.  Resins that don't have enough elasticity may be too brittle for this figure.

○     When assembling the articulated version you may want to heat up the cavities with warm water or a blow dryer for easier assembly.

○     See the labeled diagram below for proper assembly of the articulated figure.

○     There are 2 options for his left hand that you can choose from.  An open hand (1C)  or closed hand (1B).
