Description
Who doesn't want an Alien coming out of their wall?
Well, look no further!
This guy is highly detailed, high poly, and prints with no support at all!
Mount with a small nail or screw using the 6mm hole in the back of the Alien, or some double sided tape/picture hanging adhesive.
The arms and fingers are also strong enough to hang keys and other accessories from, so this can be a functional piece of art too!
Paint his teeth and eyes with acrylic paint to really bring the Alien to life!
It is scaled to fit a standard Ender 3 buildplate, with a 45 degree rotation. It can be scaled up or down to suit your own machine. If your build area is large enough, you could scale it up to act as a cool headphone stand/holder, with the headphones resting over the Aliens head ;)
I will be releasing variations of this Alien, in several different poses, so check back soon to add another one to your collection :P

PRINT SETTINGS
-----------------
-0.4mm Nozzle Diameter.
-=<0.2mm Layer Height.
-10% Gyroid Infill.
-3 Perimeters or more.
-'Bridge Mode' On (not required, just a personal preference)
-4 Top/Bottom Layers
-Use A Skirt Or No Build Plate Adhesion
Printing is super easy on this one. I spent a long time adjusting arm, head, finger and slice positions to get a successful no support print.
If you do print it fast, you may end up with some very slight curling to the rear of the thumb area. This is very minor, and personally not worth slowing the print speed down to account for. If you want to avoid this and get a near perfect print, then print the Alien slowly and at a small layer height or upgrade your part cooling fan/duct.
Thanks for looking! :)
