Mosskin Forest Sprite 3D print model

Hey there, fellow creators! Meet the Mosskin Forest Sprite, an enchanting little guardian born from the magic of AI-assisted 3D generation and the careful eye of a talented artist. This single-piece model requires no assembly—just slice, print, and bring this leafy fellow to life!

Design ConceptOur sprite blends pointy elf ears, a mossy beard, and bark-like clothing into one organic silhouette. Every fold of “leaf” and knuckle of “wood” was refined by hand after an initial AI pass, ensuring both whimsy and structural stability.

Recommended 3D Print Settings

• Material: PLA or PETG (PLA for simplest, PETG for a little flex and strength)
• Layer Height: 0.12 – 0.20 mm (0.15 mm gives a great balance of detail and speed)
• Infill: 15 %–20 % (grid or gyroid)
• Supports:
• Overhangs above 50° (under arms and leafy overhang)
• Use tree-style supports to minimize cleanup on delicate leaf tips
• Print Orientation:
  • Upright, on the sprite’s feet
  • Angle the model slightly backward (~5°) to reduce front-facing overhangs
• Shells/Perimeters: 2 – 3 perimeters for a sturdy exterior
• Print Speed: 40 – 60 mm/s for sharp detail on the beard and foliage
• Bed Adhesion: Raft or brim recommended if your printer struggles with small footprint
• Post-Processing Tips:
  1. Gently sand any support nubs with 200–400 grit sandpaper.
  2. Prime with a matte gray primer to highlight the leafy textures.
  3. Hand-paint with acrylics or use an airbrush for subtle green gradients and bark accents.

AI & Artist Collaboration DisclosureThis model was co-created using advanced AI 3D generation tools and then lovingly sculpted and optimized by a human artist. That perfect mix means you get both lightning-fast concept exploration and the nuanced quality of a designer’s touch!
