This week's drop: Swarms🐀🦇🕷

Last month we sculpted a few absolutely massive miniatures, so I wanted to challenge myself to go in the complete opposite direction...

So this week I made swarms! Tiny rats, spiders and bats. They're about as small as you can realistically print with a standard 0.4mm nozzle.

Then I multiplied them. The rats are swarming a skull, the spiders are crawling over a hand reaching out of the ground, and the bats are circling an old gravestone.

This drop includes: a Tiny Rat, Spider and Bat + their Swarm versions

• Multicolor 3MF file (for multimaterial printers & toolchangers)
• Single-color STL file (for resin or single-extruder FDM)

Key Features

• Easy to print
• Support-free design
• Optimized for multicolor FDM
• Matte PLA recommended to hide layer lines

Note: Use the feature tree to change the colors. Not the paint tool!

Size & Print Settings: 100% Scale (40mm miniature)(rat): 9x15x8 mm

• Recommended nozzle: 0.4mm (standard)
• Recommended layer height: 0.12 mm

75% Scale (28/32mm miniature)(rat): 7x11x6 mm

• Recommended nozzle: 0.2mm
• Recommended layer height: ≤ 0.08 mm

Note: I design my minis at 40mm scale because it’s the sweet spot for clean results on a 0.4mm nozzle while still fitting a standard 1-inch grid. If you know what you’re doing and have a smaller nozzle, you can absolutely scale smaller.
