You thought there wouldn't be a release this month, didn't you?
I don't blame you, and I'll be honest, It was a close call. Had a couple of family crisis(es?) that tend to happen all at once, one of which being my grandmother (who raised me) being hospitalized in Sweden, and me being in Norway without a valid pass or ID. It was quite a scare for a while, but she's now back in her home with her cat who missed her terribly!
Enough with the personal stuff, I know why you are here 😅
The Batman Who Laughs (TBWL) is one of DC Comic's more bizarre characters, and he shows just how bad it would be if Batman somehow turned bad. I won't spoil anything because I know a lot of you probably haven't read the story arcs, and it's 100% worth a read!
This is one of those busts with arms. I know there's mixed opinions about them, but in the case of TBWL I think they are almost a must. (There is however a version without sockets for the arms).
If you want to print the entire thing the usual base, but also the arm parts, and spikes:
The spikes can be slotted into any of the head band sockets, but if you want as good fit as possible, follow the lettering on the spikes and the slots:
Resin printing
It's a bit of a pain in the ass and time consuming, but I know you good patrons like pre-supported files, so yet again I have provided both Lychee Lite files and pre-supported hollowed STL files. All are in SMALL (Elegoo Mars-sized) and MEDIUM (Elegoo Saturn-sized) printer formats. As always I recommend you use Lychee, the (as of yet) best resin printer slicer out there.
FDM printing
Printing on your FDM machine you might want to go with the armless bust version because the hands are very slender and tall, so it might be hard to get a great result without the nozzle bumping something over! I've indicated some places you want to place supports, but you'll have to use some own discretion for this depending on how well your printer handles overhangs, bed adhesion, etc.
What is next?
While this month has been a bit on the slow side, next won't disappoint. I've got some cool Star Wars and The Boys stuff in the pipeline that I think you will enjoy! Thank you all for sticking around, and I hope you all like the (I hope) quality and attention to detail, even though the quantity isn't always there compared to many of the bigger Patreons out there 😅
Take care, stay safe, and remember to stop and breathe once in a while.

I hope you and your family are ok, I appreciate you still putting this amazing bust out even with everything you’re going through. Even if you missed a month I’d still be a very happy supporter of you.
