3D model descriptionThis STL features a charming hedgehog standing on an ornate round base while gently holding a heart. The sculpt preserves all original details: layered spines, sculpted facial fur, tiny paws, claws, textured belly, and decorative pedestal. A built-in top loop makes it suitable as a pendant, keychain, ornament, or small display figurine.

Model highlights:

High-resolution sculpt: individual spine definition and facial fur

Smooth, printable heart for glossy finish (epoxy or clear coat)

Integrated hanging loop and stable decorative base

Clean watertight mesh, print-ready STL

Render suggestion: natural hedgehog palette (dark-brown & white mixed spines, warm light brown fur, beige belly, black glossy eyes, red heart) with a solid blue background for strong thumbnail contrast.

3D printing settingsGeneral

Works well with Resin (SLA/DLP) for finest spine detail and FDM for larger/cheaper prints.

Supports recommended under loop, tucked spines that overhang, and underside of base if printing in the air.

Resin (recommended for max detail)

Layer height: 25–50 μm

Orientation: base-down, slight angle (10–25°) to minimize supports on face

Supports: light supports under loop, spines if they stick out, and under chin/arms

Hollowing (optional): wall thickness 2–3 mm, add 2–3 mm drainage holes

FDM

Layer height: 0.12–0.20 mm (0.12 mm for best spine fidelity)

Nozzle: 0.4 mm recommended

Infill: 10–20%

Orientation: print on base when possible; tilt slightly back (10–20°) to reduce visible layer lines on face

Brim: recommended for small prints to avoid tipping

Supports & placement

If you want the cleanest spines, print in resin or add custom supports in slicer for overhanging spikes.

For pendant-size prints, consider increasing loop thickness or scaling up slightly for strength.
