Jinx 3D Printing Figurine | Assembly

ABOUT THIS 3D FIGURINE

The recent Arcane: League of Legends TV series gained a wave of critical acclaim and the love of the fans, old and new, thanks to its creative visuals and a captivating plot. The heart of the story is the sister duo, Vi and Powder, who keep being separated by circumstances, misunderstandings and tragic events. Through these misfortunes, Powder descends into insanity and chaos, thus becoming the eccentric criminal Jinx we unapologetically love!

This figurine for 3D printing captures the unique character design of the Arcane series. Jinx is posing confidently in her highly detailed Zaunite punk outfit, with the Fishbones rocket launcher and Zapper gun ready to be engaged. The heroine’s left hand is posing as a gun - a gesture that has been with Powder since childhood. Jinx’s long braids swing around her creating a dynamic movement. That is the perfect 3D print for you to pay tribute to the timeless character and your favourite show!

ADAPTATION FOR 3D PRINTING

Jinx figurine for 3D printing is a static assembly model and its moderation and adaptation for different types of 3D printers took Gambody team 20 hours. The figurine’s anatomy and proportions were thoroughly reviewed during the moderation process for the heroine to be depicted harmoniously in the intended memorable pose.

The model’s cutting was chosen by our team to minimise the amount of generated support and some of the parts were hollowed out for you to save resin in the Eco version. In order to conceal the places where the assembly parts of the model are connected, the figurine was cut along the contour of the Jinx’s clothes. For you to achieve the cleanest 3D printed result, the character’s bangs, braids, torso, hands, legs, Fishbones rocket launcher, Zapper gun etc. are provided as separate assembly parts.

All assembly parts of the FFF/FDM versions come in STL files in recommended positions that were worked out in order to ensure the smoothness of the details’ surfaces after printing and so that the 3D printing beginners won't face difficulties when placing the parts on a build plate.

The figurine is saved in STL files, a format supported by most 3D printers. All STL files for 3D printing have been checked in Netfabb and no errors were shown.

The model's scale was calculated from the height of Jinx which is 1600 mm. The 3D printing figurine's chosen scale is 1:8 for the FFF/FDM version and 1:16 for the DLP/SLA/SLS versions.

Below you can find printing recommendations for Cura, Simplify3D, Slic3r and PrusaSlicer software.

Cura printing recommendations:

These are basic settings that were tested in Cura 4.8.0 slicer. 

The test models were printed on Ultimaker 2, Creality Ender 3, Creality CR-10S Pro V2, Anycubic I3 Mega, Anycubic I3 MegaS 3D printers with PLA and PETG filaments.

Disclaimer: The following printing settings are a recommendation, not an obligation. The parameters can vary depending on the peculiarities of your 3D printer, the material you use and especially the particular assembly part at hand. Each part that any model comprises often needs preliminary review and you are free to tweak the settings the way you find suitable.

Note:
- You can scale up the model (downscaling is not recommended!);
- All connectors should be printed at 100% Infill;
- For all parts of locks (“ge_lock” in “Source files”) you need to change "Brim" type to "Skirt" in Build Plate Adhesion section.

Slic3r printing recommendations:

These basic 3D printing settings recommendations for beginners were tested in Slic3r 1.3.0 software. Test models were printed on Ultimaker 2, Creality Ender 3, Creality Cr-10S pro v2, Anycubic I3 Mega, Anycubic I3 MegaS, Anycubic Vyper with PLA and PetG filaments. 

Note:

- You can upscale your 3D printing models. Downscaling is not recommended - it can make smaller parts of the model unprintable, distort the model’s level of detail and result in assembly issues. 
- All connectors should be printed at 100% Infill.
- When printing Lock connectors, we recommend setting the “Brim width” parameter to 0 in the "Skirt and Brim" print settings. In that way, the Locks will be 3D printed with a Skirt only.
