This Joe Eyeball and Bazooka figure project focused on clean model-to-print execution, transforming a digital character model into a reliable physical display piece. Inspired by the TMNT universe, the figure features exaggerated proportions and playful styling that make the character instantly recognizable even at a smaller scale.
For projects like this, maintaining the integrity of the original model is just as important as print stability. The geometry was carefully reviewed and prepared to ensure thin sections, overhangs, and rounded features would print cleanly without compromising detail. Support placement and orientation were optimized to preserve visible surfaces while minimizing post-processing work.
Printed in gray filament, the figure retains a neutral prototype-style finish that works well for collectors who prefer raw prints, while also serving as an excellent base for sanding, priming, and custom paint applications. Surface settings were tuned to keep layer consistency smooth across curved areas such as the head, limbs, and accessory details.
The result is a fast yet clean character print suitable for display shelves, themed collections, or as part of a larger figure setup. Projects like this highlight how proper preparation bridges the gap between digital models and finished physical props.
