I've been collaborating with some Ukrainian sculptors to design 3D-printable Ukrainian soldiers to help raise funds for Ukraine. The first sculpt designed by a Kharkiv-based artist, of a Ukrainian soldier firing an NLAW, has been finished and is available here for "donate what you want":

I'm in. Not exactly my thing, but it will be fun to paint. Postscript: Quick review – it comes as four STL files: soldier, base (without flag), soldier with SLA-style supports, base with flag and SLA-style supports. Based on my experience I would be very confident of successful prints. Almost certainly going to print better with SLA than FDM, but you knew that. I'll probably try and FDM anyway. |

Thanks guys! And thanks for the review @Andrew Walters. Yes the supported files print just fine on my Elegoo Mars 2, though do be careful removing supports around the feet as the ankles in that version are a bit thin. The unsupported version has thicker ankles but I haven't had time to support it yet (same with the base: the flag adds a lot of print time and is rather fragile so I had Nikita remove it but haven't yet supported that version).

FYI for those without 3D printers this figure is now available as a physical figure from Speira Miniatures: link |

And YouTuber Miniature Landscape Hobbies (here: YouTube link) just sent me a preview of a painted version he did that will be in his Sunday video:

A quick update: Ukrainian sculptor Nikita Klimenko has designed another 3D-printable Ukrainian soldier for charity, this one firing a captured russian AK-12. As before you can download the STL file for free, or for a small donation to benefit Ukraine: link And here's what the new sculpt looks like printed out:
