Important: This model requires a multi-color printing setup to achieve the fine details. Included in this package are pre-colored, ready-to-print profiles for both Bambu and Snapmaker machines, making the printing process simple and straightforward.

At 100% scale, Lion-O stands approximately 9.64 inches (245mm). Scaling up should work fine, but scaling down may tighten tolerances and make the multi color parts less detailed.

Multi-Color Profile Setup Tips All multi-color parts have been pre-colored in each included profile. If you are using a different printer / slicer setup, you may need to import the STLs for each part and apply the colors manually.

All multi-color parts are internally separated to make painting easier. Simply use the paint bucket tool and select the part you want to change. Some areas may overlap the colors, which can cause color artifacts. If you dont change anything, it will still print the correct colors, but for the best results, paint over any blended areas with your desired color. This helps avoid unnecessary color changes during printing and results in a cleaner, higher-quality finish.

Assembly Steps Glue the boots to the legs using the pins. Glue one leg onto the shorts and let it fully dry. Once set, attach the second leg and allow the figure to stand level while the glue dries. Attach the belt to the pants. Attach the belly to the lower chest, then connect it to the belt using the pin. Build both the left and right hands onto the arms. Attach the left arm to the body now. Leave the right arm off for the moment so you can insert the sword later. Attach the face to the hair. Press firmly up and in until it snaps into place and sits flush. Attach the head to the chest. Attach the handle to the sword. Once glued, slide it into the hand, then attach the knob to the back of the handle. Finally, attach the right arm to the body. Carefully twist the sword into your desired position.
