Welcome to OpenFigure3D!
This is our first fully 3D-printable articulated figure: Iron Man MK3, as seen on the first MCU movie Iron Man of 2008. The designer is Dany Sánchez, who is also behind MiniWorld3D, and the Samus & Mandalorian figures.
Further below are the full instructions, so for now please read this:
- - OpenFigure3D is an account where several designers and 3D artists share 3D printable articulated figures & toys. These are free fanarts or originals.
- - THIS MODEL IS FREE & available only on Printables.com & MyMiniFactory, DO NOT BE FOOLED AND PAY FOR IT ELSEWHERE.
- - Please don't publish these files elsewhere. OpenFigure3D is meant to be OPEN, contact us to be part of it, let's keep it all here.

--FULL INSTRUCTIONS-------
TAKE YOUR TIME. Save this, print this, come to it later. Also, SEE ATTACHED ASSEMBLY MANUAL.
1. What's inside?
You'll see the body parts, files are named clearly. Arms and legs are just for one side, mirror them in your slicer to make the other side. Some parts are included split for MMU printing, you can choose to do that, or print the simple version.
2. Printing Recommendations
2.1 Scale. The figure stands at 18cm (7 inches) tall. You can scale up as you want, but do not scale down unless you use resin.
2.2 General tips:
- Most parts need supports.
- Print orientation on bed is important, especially for strength of articulations, which tend to break along layer lines, so try to print perpendicular to them. For example, print sockets and ball joints horizontally so the layers run along it.
- Ideally print without brims, because they fuse the supports to the part in the first layer, difficulting supports removal. Excellent bed adhesion is required to print without brims.
- Slow speeds are recommended, like 50mm/s.
- Certain strength is needed, we recommend 3 perimeters and at least 15% infill. It might help to make the legs denser for stability.
- Print all at once or each part individually, up to you and your how reliable your settings are.
2.3 Orientation on print bed suggestions (supports on all, except if noted).
- Calf & Thigh straight up like a tower, upside down.
- Thigh socket horizontal. Mirror for left/right.
- Hip ball joints printed best in our test when split in halves, flat side on bed.
- Abdomen and Chest straight up.
- Chest sockets horizontal. You'll need 3, one for each shoulder and one for the abdomen. They are identical so no need to mirror.
3. Post-print recommendations
3.1 Cleanup. Remove supports, brims, & any imperfections that may cause interference between moving parts.
3.2 Tolerances. After thorough testing, we designed parts with 0 tolerance. This is because of the wild variations in printers, settings, filaments, etc. Adjust manually with a knife or sanding until fit is perfect. Avoid loose articulations, which make the figure like a rag doll. If this happens to you, you can reprint the part, use like a piece of paper between the parts to fill the gap and make it tight, or glue with elasticity like silicone or UHU.
3.3 Fractures. If a joint breaks, simply reprint that part or use glue. We designed sockets as separate parts for this reason.
3.4 Assembly. Easy & straight-forward, see attached images if you have doubts. Be kind but firm. Insert small parts to larger ones first, before doing larger ones to each other
