Blanka Street Fighter 2 Pixel Art Figure
Here is the latest model in my Street Fighter collection: BLANKA. This series, titled “Ultimate Edition”, is designed with multi-layer depth, textured clothing, and separate parts to achieve the finish and relief of a real collector's figure.
KEY FEATURES
3 Poses Included: Victory, Idle pose and Electric Thunder.
2.5D Assembly: Clothes and effects are designed to be glued onto the bodies, creating a relief.
Customizable Base: Organize the characters however you like on the base, featuring an engraved Street Fighter II logo.
Noir Background: Background image based on the original game selection screen (Black, Silver, Dark Grey, and White).
PRINT PROFILES
OPTION A: (1 ACE PRO / 4 Colors)
Bodies and clothes are on separate plates for the best surface finish.
Assembly: You need to GLUE the clothes onto the bodies. I recommend using Gel Superglue (Cyanoacrylate) for total control.
OPTION B: (2 ACE PRO2 / 8 Colors)
Blanka is printed as a single piece (Body + Clothes combined).
TOLERANCE TEST
The last plate contains a fit test. Print this first to verify your printer's accuracy.
The Design: All slots have a 0.25 mm offset relative to the tabs.
How to read it: If the token fits perfectly in the second slot, your settings are ideal (0 adjustment).
Adjustments: If it doesn't fit or is too loose, adjust the "X-Y Hole Compensation" setting on the 02-MAIN BASE plate.
+ 0.05mm: Makes holes larger.
- 0.05mm: Makes holes smaller.
Pro Tip: If the fit becomes loose after frequent use, a small piece of cardstock behind the tab will fix it perfectly.
RECOMMENDED SETTINGS
- Layer Height: 0.2 mm
- Line Width (1st Layer): 0.5 mm
- Bottom Layers: 4
- Infill: 15%
- Bottom Surface Pattern: Monotonic Line.
- Wall Generator: Arachne (Recommended for pixel details).
- Color Blending Note: The main base color used in my print profile is Yellow. Thanks to layer blending techniques, it mixes with the other colors to create Blanka's iconic green. However, you can also swap the yellow for a Green filament if you prefer, which will give you a different final texture and finish.
- Filaments Used: I used the Smartfill Recycled range from Smart Materials. The final finish may vary slightly depending on your filament brand due to the color blending techniques used in the model.
