GUS
Not only does it boast an interesting design, but it's also incredibly easy to 3D print. This goblin requires no support or padding; the designer chose a resolution of 0.2 mm for the larger version and a lower resolution of 0.12 mm for the smaller version.
If you plan to put it outdoors, PLA may not be the best choice, so consider more durable materials such as PETG.
The smaller version is only 9 centimeters tall, and regardless of size, it can serve as an interesting drawing subject.
One maker made a clever choice: they used marble PLA to make the beard to create a very cool look.
Man 2 Autumn
Goblins are creatures who are born to love the earth and gardens. Even if you don't have a garden, you can still have your own little goblin.
This little guy has some cute design details; his hat is decorated, and he's holding a pumpkin and a sunflower in his hand.
You can enjoy drawing him to your heart's content, or if your device has a multi-color printing setting, you can make things even simpler.
If you don't want him to feel lonely, the designer has also created an equally adorable companion.
In 3D printing, a lower layer height value will help achieve smoother details – especially when printing at smaller scales.
The print profiles shared by designers include a 0.08 mm layer height, two outer walls, 15% infill, and the use of tree-like supports, all of which extend printing time to nearly 3 hours at the preset size.
Makers at TheBigSlice successfully shrunk parts to 300%, but in this case, printing takes about 14 hours.
Protognome
With its flexible and attractive design, this is the perfect model for those who love creative 3D printing.
What's really cool about Protognome is that there are two options for the beard.
You can create a regular, neat beard and print it in a "static" section, or you can choose a dwarf with a wagging beard, as shown in the image above.
This model is divided into interlocking parts, so you don't need to worry if you don't have a multi-color setting.
The recommended print fill rate is 15-20%, the layer height is 0.2 mm, the hat needs support, while the beard is optional.
The designer also pointed out that due to the tolerances of individually printed parts, they may need to be sanded and glued.
Unsupported goblins
Each goblin has unique features and personality, and perhaps one of the most distinctive features of this special design is that the prominent beard doesn't need any support!
You can paint it, use special filaments, or just leave it in its solid color—either way, it will look amazing!
If you are interested in making the most of Bambu Lab's AMS , MakerWorld's maker has shared a print configuration file designed specifically for this setup.
Different repository websites have given the design high praise.
Preset settings (such as a ceiling height of 0.2 mm, 15% fill, and 2 walls) should do the job well; a single color would take nearly 3 hours.
There are a total of 7 modified versions of this famous dwarf in Printables and Thingiverse.
The selection is quite extensive, ranging from chessboards to decorative items and eyeglass frames—all interesting gift ideas!
Baby Goblin
For those looking to add a touch of cuteness and creativity to their baby's room, decorate for a baby shower, or simply want to have something adorable around, the Baby Gnome model is an irresistible choice.
Its captivating design combines exquisite details with playful shapes, making it an excellent choice for those who enjoy personalized 3D models.
To print Baby Gnome, the designers shared a 0.16 mm high outline with 3 walls and a 10% infill rate to ensure the model is sturdy.
Printing can be done in multiple colors or a single hue, and you can find files in STL and 3MF formats.
Please remember that although PLA is relatively safe for food contact, caution is still required when making products as shown in the image above.
Shmebulock from Gravity Falls
If you're a fan of Gravity Falls and want to add some of the series' magic and humor to your collection, then printing Shmebulock might be the perfect choice.
This little goblin is cursed for 1,000 years and can only repeat his own name.
Furthermore, Shmebulock is not the only goblin in Gravity Falls, so some people will naturally confuse him with other magical creatures, such as Steve.
While the unique Shmebulock was designed purely for decoration, Steve's design is practical, adding a fun element to toothpaste placement.
Although the two goblins do not share print value suggestions, it is easy to imagine that they need support given the position of their hands in the air.
For reference, the print settings used in the above image were 0.2 mm layer height and 20% fill.
Goblin Keychain
Goblins always appear in gardens, forests, and almost any safe place they can find!
These adorable creatures can be mischievous, but they can also be very affectionate and easy to carry in your pocket.
Why not print a mini guardian to protect your heart and always have your keys at your fingertips?
Even if you already have a cool keychain, it can also serve as a decorative accessory for your bag or backpack.
The model measures approximately 50 x 15 mm and is designed for printing via AMS using a two-color configuration file.
In other words, if you get inspiration by following the guidelines in the image above, then drawing shouldn't be too difficult.
For setup, the print profile shared by designers includes a 0.2 mm layer height, 2 outer walls, and 15% infill, all of which translate to approximately 5 hours of printing time.
