Striking gothic mask featuring crescent moon horns, an intricate lattice structure, and a central skull motif.

Measuring Instructions

Use calipers, not a soft measuring tape, for best accuracy.

Measure face width

Measure straight across the face from temple to temple (outer edge to outer edge).

Measure face height

From the bridge of the nose down to the chin where the mask should end.

Check model size

Import the model into your slicer and check current X (width) and Y (height).

Scale uniformly

Scale the model so the inside width of the mask matches your face width.

Always prioritize width for comfort.

Printing Instructions

Recommended printing: FDM or Resin

Layer height:

FDM: 0.12–0.2 mm

Resin: 0.03–0.05 mm

Infill: 10–15% (FDM)

Supports:

Required for horns and lattice overhangs

Tree supports recommended for clean removal

Print orientation: Face-forward or slightly tilted back for best detail

Finishing Tips

Sand lightly and prime before painting

Matte black, bone, metallic, or iridescent finishes work especially well

Dry brushing highlights the lattice and skull details

Gloss varnish on horns adds a dramatic contrast

Optional eye mesh or fabric can be glued behind the lattice for effect

Fitting & Wearing Tips

Attach elastic straps, ribbon ties, or leather cords through side openings

EVA foam or neoprene padding inside improves comfort and stability

Always test fit before final finishing

If the mask feels slightly tight, gently heat with a hairdryer or heat gun on LOWand carefully reshape around a mannequin head or padded surface

Do not overheat — gradual warming works best
