Full Product Details
A bard mid-song in a flowing violet-and-blue cloak, lute in hand, ribbons of magical music notes swirling around him, rapier at his hip, tavern floor strewn with books and a tankard. The story writes itself — he just charges for it.

Questions about Bard
What scale should I print Bard at?
The mini comes scaled to ~120mm (D&D Medium-class). For 32mm D&D 5e / Pathfinder tabletop scale, set ~20-27% scale in your slicer. For collectible display, 60-75%.
What's the mesh quality of Bard?
The mini has 600k triangles — clean enough for FDM at medium-large scales, detailed enough for resin printing at small tabletop scales.
Does Bard print well on FDM?
Yes. Recommended FDM settings: 0.12-0.20mm layer height, 10-15% infill, tree supports from the base. Supports are recommended on cloaks, hoods, capes and trailing fabric.
Is Bard supported for resin printing?
Yes. Recommended resin settings: 0.05mm layer, 1.8-3s exposure, light-medium supports from the base. The mesh is watertight and oriented for printing. Hollow in your slicer to save resin.
Any specific print warnings for Bard?
The model has 27 thin-wall regions flagged by our pre-print scan (cloaks, capes, weapon edges). Print at the recommended scale or larger to avoid breakage. The full thin-wall report is included with the STL.
Can I sell physical prints of Bard?
Yes — the license allows you to print and sell the physical figure (conventions, online, custom commissions). What you can NOT do is redistribute or resell the digital STL file itself.
