Summary

Having Metroid on the brain lately (playing every version/hack I can), I got inspired printing the Chozo statue here:

Looking at the stock Bambu extruder indicator, I was pretty much already seeing Samus rolling around any way :).

I've created a couple different versions as well as a 'blank' for remixes/customization.

Only a single color change (change at height) is used in the sample prints, though you can elaborate the painting to your content.

To capture the detail and fitment, a 0.2mm nozzle and 0.1mm layer height should be used. Furthermore, if you want to capture the detail of the filets and top surfaces, I suggest using variable layer height...

Fitment/clearances come out just right on my Mini using canned PLA profiles. Don't blow up my planet if you need to make slight tweaks to flow or hole compensation.

Enjoy and post your makes/remixes! Let's see what everybody's favorite version/suit is...
