3D model description
I was requested to design, print and paint a 1/6th model of Marilyn using 1.68mtrs flat foot, 36D-24-34 measurements, and a pose he sent as a sketch based on the Moon Lamp model’s Head.
The strangest part of his request is that he wanted the flared dress as thin as I could possibly print. . . . saying he was disappointed with other models that he has, as the dress was just too thick, not like cloth . . .
So here is Simply Marilyn, no extra torso’s or body parts. . just the iconic posed dress.
There are however 3 skirt parts for the dress, both thin parts one in three pieces and a one piece, as well as a one-piece thicker dress should you find it difficult to print the thin one. . .check out the pictures at the end to explain the dress construction.
The model is H285mm without base (1.68mtrs tall with heels at 1/6 scale), and with base 307mm height.
1 head
3 skirt options
1 upper torso
2 legs
1 trunk
2 Piece base
12 items in total.

All parts are cut files to fit build plate of small resin printers like the Photon or have separate files than the FDM versions included.
These orientations work for FDM printing but you may find a better orientation that reduces support.
All the parts have been printed and developed to print, A lot of prints have been produced to get the figures corrected and fault free.
Why cut into many smaller parts I have been asked?
1. If you try and assemble this, then paint it . .it would be difficult to paint into hidden areas, less masking when painting separate parts.
2. Smaller parts not only allow for Resin print at full scale, but also allow individual parts to use less supports than one larger part on FDM printers
So now you know!
Please do not scale down or adjust my recommended settings for infill etc. . . as you can see from the pictures this prints very well and I believe you will be pleased with the result when completed.
All of my models are only released when they can print! so please do not remix or "fix" faults in this model then republish! If there is a fault then let me know . . message me I will answer and fix problem. . apart from that print make enjoy.
3D printing settings
NONE OF THE FILES ARE ORIENTATED READY TO PRINT. This will allow you to “join” parts if you have larger printers and wish to do so . .
TIPS:
Resin Printing;
Legs Hollow 3.00 (to avoid hollow foot) Raft 90%
Do NOT Hollow
3 part thin dress
Grate2
Rest of parts Hollow 2.40 Raft 100%
FDM
ALL at 0.16 30% fill, speed 50
ALWAYS dry assemble and “trim” parts prior gluing.
Assemble (see pics) head and upper torso – paint.
Assemble 3 part skirt or skirt of choice – paint
Assemble upper torso to skirt.
Assemble legs to trunk – paint
Assemble upper and lower parts, then fit to base.
