Official Manual - 3D Cultural Line v1

1️⃣ Vision of the project: 

A modular, accessible, and scalable Brazilian cultural line that blends:

Folklore

Regional identity

Digital production

3D printing

Physical sales + STL

Replicable system

An original collection of Brazilian cultural characters in a modular chibi style, combining tradition, technology, and accessible digital production.

The project aims to:

To value Brazilian cultural identity.

Create collectible physical and digital characters.

Develop a modular system that allows for rapid variations.

Building a scalable and sustainable line

Transforming culture into a contemporary product.

In the long term: 

To consolidate a Brazilian brand of original cultural characters produced using 3D technology.

2️⃣ Technical Standard 

📏 Official Dimensions

Total height: 10 cm. 

Proportion: 50% head / 50% body. 

Stable base integrated into the body.

Reason: 

10cm is:

Economical in materials

Quick to print

Easy to sell

Good for collecting.

🧱 Modular Structure

Model divided into:

Standard body base

Interchangeable head

Removable hair/accessories (when possible)

Objective: 

To create variations without completely redesigning everything. 

That's industrial efficiency applied to culture.

🧵Base Print Parameters (PLA)

Standard starting temperature: 205°C 

Standard layer height: 0.16mm 

Walls: 3 

Infill: 15–20% 

Top/Bottom: 4 layers 

Reduced external speed 

Brim when necessary

Technical reason:

0.16 = good balance between detail and timing

3 walls = sufficient strength

15–20% = lightweight and structural

Slow outer wall construction = better finish

🏗 Official Internal Structure

All models must:

To be hollow internally via infill

Have a standardized minimum wall thickness.

Avoid fragile micro-details

Designed for mass production.

No fragile parts that break during transport.

🧠 Technical Philosophy

First, validate the form.

Then optimize quality.

Then reduce the time.

Then reduce costs.

Only then should you look for a premium finish.

Order matters.

🗂 Versioning

Always record: 

Character + Version + Healing Profile used.

Example: 

Curupira v1 – Cura v1 Profile 

Curupira v2 – Adjustment 205°C + Outer Wall -10%

3️⃣ Official Cure Profile 

: This is the standard operational production protocol. 

It exists to:

Ensure repeat quality.

Reduce error

Reduce improvisation

Accelerate production

🔹 Cura v1 Profile – Base Production

Material: PLA 

Temperature: 205°C 

Layer Height: 0.16mm 

Walls: 3 

Infill: 15–20% 

Top/Bottom: 4 

External Speed: Reduced 

Brim: When necessary

Rule: 

If you change something fixed → create a Cura v2 Profile. 

Never overwrite a validated profile.

4️⃣ Notion Structure (explaining how it's organized) 

Notion is the factory's control panel.

It should contain:

Database: Characters

Properties:

Character's name

Version

Height

Cura Profile (related to the Cura database)

Printing time

Weight

Technical result

Observations

Next action

Database: Cure Profiles

Profile name

Temperature

Layer Height

Walls

Infill

Top/Bottom

Speed

Technical observations

The relationship between the two bases is mandatory.

5️⃣ Drive folder structure 

: Drive is the physical storage of the system.

Root Folder:

3D Cultural Line

Within:

📁 Characters 

→ Curupira 

→ Indigenous person 

→ Alaursa 

→ etc.

Each character must have:

STL v1

STL v2

Photos

Render

Technical observations

📁 Cura Profiles (backup .curaprofile if you want to export) 

📁 Official Manual

Rule: 

Never save the final STL file outside of the official Drive.

6️⃣ Official Pipeline 

Character Selection

Visual definition

Basic low poly pattern making

Export STL

Apply Official Cure Profile

Test print

Register on Notion

Technical evaluation

Adjustment

Final version validated

Only after that will it go up for sale.

7️⃣ Commercial Strategy 

Hybrid Model:

Physical sale:

Collectible cultural product

Affordable price

Production on demand

Digital sales:

Optimized STL

Personal license

Possible future commercial version

Initial objective: 

Quick inflow of funds → validate interest → scale the line.

Strategic rule: 

Don't stifle production by pursuing extreme perfection.
