Make Your First 3D Printed Figure With AI – Complete Guide

Most people think AI for 3D printing tops out at keychains and small single-piece models. This is a 40 cm multi-part Malenia figure, split for color and printed in parts.

The full breakdown runs from concept to the finished figure. I show how to build reference images that actually generate well, settings that matter, and then the long part: assembling and cleaning the model in Blender, scaling it to real millimetres, splitting it into parts that fit your printer, and building your own connectors so the pieces hold.

Then color separation for multicolor printing, which almost nobody covers, and how to prepare it yourself without special tools. Export, print, assemble.
