Finally:
These files are for personal use and shall not be used to sell without my prior authorisation - I will be commissioning builds myself but if I see copies of the files being distributed or glaives being sold on selling platforms expect a message, there are eyes everywhere and people will not hesitate to tell me if they have seen my work spoiled.

Most of the printing is at layer height 0.16mm unless specified in the 3MF files, please use the settings and orientations from the files, if you have a bigger print bed than 256mm square you may be able to print different orientation but the detail may not come out as crisp.
If you need STL files please let me know and I will upload them.
For the success of the print, orientation has to be right, all the 3MF files are pre-set to ensure everything prints well, do not delete any painted supports, they are there to ensure your print is successful, I have done a lot of testing and the settings all included in the 3MF files are for my Bambu A1 but should work with most other printers, if you need any help please just message me!.
