Description
Pocket Pioneers is a set of six stylized, collectible-style characters with bold silhouettes, readable shapes, and “toy-like” proportions—perfect for thumbnails, promos, dioramas, and fun prints. Each character is designed to feel like a premium figure: clean surfaces, strong forms, and distinct outfits so they look great even at smaller sizes.
AI disclosure (friendly): These models were AI-assisted during the early 3D generation stage and then artist-refined for cleaner shapes, stronger details, and better usability.
3D Print Settings (easy starter guide)
Recommended scale
- Default display/desk figure: 100–150 mm tall
- Mini / tabletop scale: 50–80 mm tall (best on resin)
- Collector scale: 180–250 mm tall (split/assemble if needed)
For Resin Printing (SLA/DLP/MSLA) — best for detail
- Layer height: 0.03–0.05 mm
- Supports: light/medium supports on arms, hands, chin/ears, and any floating parts
- Orientation: tilt 20–35° to reduce suction; face angled away from supports
- Hollowing (optional): 1.6–2.5 mm wall thickness + drain holes if printing large
- Post-process: wash/cure as usual; light sanding on support contact points
For FDM Printing (PLA/PETG/ABS) — best for durability
- Layer height: 0.12–0.20 mm
- Nozzle: 0.4 mm (0.25 mm for extra detail if you have it)
- Infill: 10–20% (higher if you want heavy, sturdy figures)
- Walls/perimeters: 3–5 walls for solid feel
- Supports: “Tree” supports recommended for ears/hands/overhangs
- Orientation: upright works; for cleaner faces, rotate slightly so supports avoid the front
Tips for best results
- Ears & hands: most likely to need supports—add a bit more clearance and go gentle when removing
- Sanding/prime: a quick primer coat makes the “toy figure” vibe pop
- Paint-ready: use matte primer + acrylics; dry brushing brings out details fast
