This alien bust was originally printed in PLA filament at a large scale, similar in size to a human head. PLA works perfectly for this model, giving it a solid structure and a smooth finish once sanded or post-processed.

However, if you have access to a resin printer, the results can be even more stunning: resin captures the intricate surface details of the skin texture, eyes, and subtle facial curves with incredible precision.

PLA Printing Recommendations:

Print at 0.16–0.20mm layer height for balance between quality and speed.

Use 15–20% infill for a strong but not overly heavy bust.

Add supports under the chin and back of the head for clean overhangs.

Post-process with light sanding and primer before painting.

Resin Printing Recommendations:

Print at 0.05mm layer height to capture maximum detail.

Use fine supports around the head and neck.

Cure carefully to preserve the fine skin patterns.
