How to use this model

Use cases, fit and pre-production checks

These gothic skull shoulder pads are optimized for 3D printing, with a recommended scale for standard wargaming miniatures (e.g., 28mm-32mm). They are designed to be printed with minimal supports, though some may be beneficial for overhangs depending on your printer and orientation. Resin printers will capture the fine details best, but FDM printing is also viable at larger scales. For game development or AR/VR projects, the models can be further optimized for lower polygon counts. These shoulder pads are perfect for creating intimidating warriors, dark cultists, or unique character concepts, adding a distinctive grimdark element to any project.
