Remix of Thecriws design- "Vegetta dragon ball".
I couldn't get the original to work with my slicers, so I went in and did an overhaul repair from top to bottom. I thickened up the energy aura and armor. I repaired the body (legs, arms, torso, face, hair) which had manifold errors. I removed the energy blast that was on it and designed a new one.
I used Netfabb 2021 and Meshmixer to do the repairs of the model and I used Blender to create the energy blast.
Printed it for my brother, who was totally stoked when he saw it. I may have to print another one for myself now!

Notes:
I printed at 0.3mm layer thickness because I wasn't 100% sure it was going to work. In hindsight, I wish I would've printed it at 0.2 or less. It printed without a problem.
I know this may be obvious, but- This cannot be printed without support. You can limit the amount of support, but make sure you support the energy aura, his arms/hands, and his face.
I printed the energy blast standing up with the larger end against the print bed. I used a little bit of support to make sure it didn't topple over while printing, but I don't know that it was necessary.
I can't take any credit for painting it...That was done by my amazing wife.
