Featuring two print profiles!

Classic Bowser

Dark Bowser

Dimensions:

Bowser stands approximately 10.5 inches (266mm) tall and 12.5 inches wide at 100% scale, making this a large model. At full size, it will not fit on a Bambu A1 Mini printer and will need to be scaled down to 80%. While I haven’t tested Bowser at smaller scales, the only potential issue might be that assembling the mouth could become slightly more challenging.

Classic Bowser:

Esun PLA+: Pine Green (shell)

Esun: Fire Engine Red (inner mouth)

Elegoo: Brown

Geetech: Silver

Bambu Basic: Black, Red

Bambu Matte: White, Yellow, Desert Tan

Creality Hyper PLA: Green (head)

I used Esun PLA+: Bone White for the horns and shell spikes, but realized the color looks very similar to the Bambu Matte: Desert Tan. You may not need to get two colors

Dark Bowser:

Elegoo: Matte White

Geetech: Silver

Bambu Basic: Black, Red

Esun PLA+: Bone White

Creality Hyper Series: Very Peri (Dark Purple)

Assembly Tips:

The mouth must be assembled according to the provided instructions. Please refer to the pictures in the Bowser folder for guidance.

Pay attention to the left and right teeth, ensuring that the arrows on the teeth point outward from the mouth. Refer to the pictures for guidance.

The neck spikes have two unique spikes on the left and right - they are labled L and R. There is a little slit on them, and they need to be lined up correctly with the pins. There is a picture for reference how it should line up.

The front neck spike has the top cut out, line it up with the neck band.

The arms and shoulders are labled L and R. The side of the arm that is labled goes onto the shoulder.
