In many Orthodox homes, the first thing you notice is the quiet corner where prayer happens. An icon, a candle, and a small reminder that peace starts inside the heart. This statue is made to carry that same stillness. The figure stands barefoot in flowing robes, with a halo behind the head and a raised hand giving a traditional blessing gesture.

The sculpt presents a calm, frontal Orthodox-inspired style, with balanced facial features, shoulder-length hair, and a short beard. The robe folds are layered and readable, designed to print cleanly and paint easily. The halo forms a simple circular disc that frames the head and adds a strong silhouette for display. The pose is stable and vertical, which makes the model suitable for shelf display, a small home altar, church décor projects, or as a painting piece for collectors.

This model is based on an original concept and design. The initial 3D form was generated with the assistance of AI tools, after which it was extensively refined and manually detailed in Blender and other 3D editing software. This workflow ensures the figure maintains its unique character and meets the standards of precision, structure, and print-readiness required for high-quality 3D printing.

Please note that the model is primarily designed for textured versions (OBJ + MTL in ZIP archive), allowing for a rich and visually detailed result when used with color-supported 3D printing or digital rendering. The non-textured version (STL, 3MF) may lack some surface details visible in the textured formats. The formats included are STL, OBJ, MTL, 3MF, FBX, and BLEND inside a ZIP archive, plus separate OBJ and STL files for the platform’s 3D viewer.

Technical features and printing recommendations

Recommended print technology

Resin printers for clean face detail, fingers, and robe folds.

FDM printers work well at larger sizes, with supports under the hand and halo.

Suggested resin settings

Layer height: 0.05–0.08 mm

Orientation: slight tilt to keep facial planes clean and reduce suction

Supports: medium supports under the raised hand, sleeve edges, and halo rim

Hollowing: 2–3 mm wall thickness with drain holes under the feet area or hidden behind the robe if desired

Suggested FDM settings

Layer height: 0.12–0.16 mm, 0.4 mm nozzle

Walls: 2–3 perimeters, infill 12–18%

Supports: required for the hand, halo edge, and some robe overhangs

Material: PLA for easy printing or PETG for added durability

Recommended size, time, material

Recommended height: 170–220 mm for devotional display

Supports: required

Minimum print time to plan for: 540 minutes

Material estimate at ~190 mm: Resin 120–180 g or Filament 150–230 g, depending on hollowing and infill

Scaling Note: This model is designed in millimeters (mm). If it appears too small when imported into your slicer, ensure your software is set to mm units. If needed, scale the model up 100x if the slicer defaults to meters instead.
