Hi, I can help optimize your existing STL so it prints reliably without sacrificing the overall look. Instead of simply reducing the polygon count, I'll modify the geometry by thickening thin walls, simplifying fine details, removing problematic features, and giving the model a cleaner, more toy-like appearance while preserving its character. I have extensive experience repairing and preparing STL files for FDM and resin 3D printing using professional CAD and mesh editing tools. Before delivery, I'll verify that the model is manifold, printable, and free of geometry issues that commonly cause print failures. I'd be happy to review the STL and suggest the best approach before we begin. Looking forward to working with you.

Hello, Reducing poly count usually breaks a model because it strips detail uniformly across the whole surface instead of targeting the specific thin walls and fine geometry actually causing print failure, which is why the result ends up looking flattened rather than simplified. I have optimized complex STL files for printing before, where the fix was rebuilding problem areas selectively rather than decimating the whole mesh. I bring the model into Blender or Fusion 360 depending on the geometry, identify exactly which thin walls, overhangs, or fine details are causing the failures, then thicken or simplify only those specific areas while keeping the overall silhouette and proportions intact. I shift the design toward a chunkier, toy-like feel by rounding out small protrusions and consolidating tiny parts into printable, sturdy shapes rather than removing detail wholesale, then verify the geometry slices cleanly before handing it back. Message me and I can start reviewing the model file. Kind regards Andile
