Whimsical Bearded Earthen Sprites

Meet our Whimsical Bearded Earthen Sprites: a collection of charming, big‑eared forest spirits rendered in one seamless, single‑piece model. Each sprite features exaggerated ears, expressive eyes, and a unique beard style—ideal as a desk buddy, shelf accent, or gift for fantasy lovers.

This model was lovingly crafted by an artist using AI‑powered 3D generation tools alongside hand‑tuned sculpting. We’re proud to disclose that AI helped jump‑start the creative process, while our human artist refined every curve and facial expression to bring these sprites to life.

Key Features:
- Single‑piece design: No fiddly parts or assembly—just print and go!
- Expressive details: High‑resolution beard strands, crisp eyes, and playful poses.
- Friendly companion: Perfect for fantasy enthusiasts, tabletop gamers, or as a cute decorative piece.

IDEAL 3D PRINT SETTINGS
To achieve the best results with standard FDM printers:
Setting Recommendation
- Layer Height: 0.12–0.2 mm (for fine beard and facial details)
- Nozzle Diameter: 0.4 mm
- Infill: 15–20 % (light but sturdy)
- Print Speed: 40–60 mm/s
- Supports: Minimal under overhangs (ears may need touch‑up)
- Build Plate: PEI/Glass with glue stick or hairspray
- Material: PLA or PETG (PLA for detail, PETG for durability)
- Orientation: Lay the back of the sprite flat on the bed; ears angled slightly upward to minimize supports.

After printing, gently remove supports, sand the flat underside if desired, and prime/paint to make your sprite truly pop!
