❓ Resin printer size poll (if you use resin printers, please take a look at this poll and answer so I know roughly which size pre-supported files I should focus on first!)
So the plan was to finish the Peacemaker, BUT...
I couldn't get our favourite Duros bounty hunter: Cad Bane, out of my head. So here he is. Viewers of Clone Wars and The Bad Batch are familiar with him, but he's otherwise not the most famous character from the Star Wars universe, but he's definitely one of the coolest one (to me, at least!), and I think they made a great job portraying him in The Book of Boba Fett, with that absolutely menacing voice of Corey Burton's.

The regular version with the breathing apparatus is probably best printed using a resin printer, since it can be a bit finnicky printing the smaller parts, especially if you have scaled the model down (look further down for a simplified version). Just remember to print the small parts slow and put a brim around the bottom for stability.
All the loose parts (except the cylinders) have a letter (A-J) on the bottoms, with matching letters in the slots of the breathing apparatus itself, to show what goes where, so take a moment to look for these letters before starting to glue pieces together!

The hat is the same for both the regular and simplified versions. I've had the best luck printing it at an angle both using FDM and resin, as you can see in the images below. The second image is where I've painted in the supports in Prusa Slicer.



Because the breathing apparatus can be difficult to get to print properly on FDM if you don't print it big enough, I've made a simplified version without pegs for the breathing apparatus. Most display busts facing forward on a shelf anyway without the rear showing, so this is a good option for those who want it simpler :)

❤️ for Ukraine.
