| Setting | Recommended Value | Reason | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | | 0.03mm - 0.05mm | The facial skin texture demands finer layers. 0.03mm is ideal. | | Exposure Time | 2.5 – 3.0 seconds | (For standard grey resin). Over-exposure will blow out the cybernetic details. | | Lift Speed | 40 – 60 mm/min | Slow lift prevents the large surface area of the bust from tearing off the FEP. | | Orientation | 15-20 degree tilt backward | Do not print vertical. Tilt it so the chin and chest are angled up. | | Supports | Heavy supports on base; Medium on chin & forearm | The patched file may still need manual supports for the jawline. |

The patched file transforms a frustrating, error-riddled experience into a smooth, successful print that rivals commercial garage kits. The fine details of her cybernetic arm, the texture of her leather jacket, and the intensity of her gaze make her a centerpiece for any collection.
