This doll is a remix of Solomon262's 1/3 scale anime BJD. I used my 3D printing slicer (Repetier) to scale it down to a smaller 1/6 Pure Neemo M scale. My print settings can be found below along with scaling if you wish to print on this scale too. Please see the Print Settings section for more info on printing this doll.
Changes made:
-Ankle joint in calves made smaller to accommodate for smaller feet, will work in 1/3 scale and may enable 1/3 scale, 1/4 scale, etc clothes to be worn with some finessing.
-Face edited, given fangs, pointed ears, and narrowed eyes. Eyes can be customized by carving, as I did in the example photos.
-Breasts significantly reduced in size + smoothed, neck thickened in middle
-Some files in this download have not been altered, but are still included in order to have everything I used in the doll.
Hands and feet were attached using small S-hooks made out of 18 gauge wire and the doll itself was strung with 2mm black elastic cord. Will likely take either 8 or 10 mm eyes in 1/6 scale, depending on the dome of the eye. Sanded as thoroughly as I could then varnished with a thin layer of Liquitex matte varnish.

Printer:

Rafts:
Doesn't Matter
Supports:
Yes
Resolution:
0.1 mm
Filament: Inland PLA Red
Notes:
Definitely needs a brim in many part, some parts may take trial and error to find the sweet spot to print them. I recommend printing the full thing at 0.4 mm as a test print in a different filament color so that you can get everything right. Please see below for print scale to get this doll on Pure Neemo M scale. You can print the internal head S-hook if you want. If you are printing in 1/4 or 1/3 scale, please keep in mind that the feet file DOES NOT fit the calf file I have in this package. The feet are approximately 75% smaller than the scale of the calf should be. This is so that the doll fits into Blythe/Pullip/Azone scaled shoes, and may help it fit into some other scaled doll shoes when printed on different scales.

Sanding, Sanding, Sanding
This doll took a lot of sanding. I suggest taking every part to a Dremel and carving off any rough marks with some 80-grit sandpaper, gradually going up and up in fineness up until 1500 grit (or higher/lower if you desire). I found that there are numerous inclusions in her legs, torso, and chest, so I plan to body blush her to hide some of those. All in all, it took about 7 hours total to fully sand this doll. Will likely be longer (and may even have better results) on a larger scale.
As well as sanding, you can do modding in this stage! You can carve the eyes open a bit more if desired, do some additive modding, or whatever you want your doll to have or be!
Stringing!
Stringing is relatively simple. You will need:
2mm Elastic Cord (or larger if stringing a larger scale)
Pipe Cleaners
First, cut the body length loop of elastic. This should be a bit shorter than the actual length when double-looped so there is room to stretch. It is double looped so that each leg has one elastic loop. Starting from the head, hook the S-hook into the top of the two loops and string it through the head, chest, and hips using a pipe cleaner hooked on the other end as a guide. At the hips, you will split the loops so that there is one singular loop going through each leg. String the legs and finish by hooking on the feet.
For the arms, a similar process is used. This time, you use only one elastic loop. The elastic loop much reach short of the doll's full wingspan without her hands.

The Faceup Stage
Doing a faceup is the best part about any doll. This one is no different! You can do a faceup with just about anything, but I used these materials for mine:
Citadel Purity Sealant
Chalk Pastels
Watercolor Pencils
Acrylic Paints
Before beginning, I used a thin layer of color matched red acyrlic paint to cover the doll's entire body in order to thoroughly hide any remaining sanding marks and to get a nice, smooth matte surface. I then sprayed everything evenly with a coat of sealant, let dry, and then I was off to work! Repeat a cycle of layer of faceup, seal, layer, seal, until you're satisfied with your faceup. I suggest watching tutorials on faceups too! You don't have to use sealant, but I strongly encourage it so you avoid staining your doll if you wish to repaint it again in the future. Watered down matte varnish sponged on/airbrushed on also works as a sealant.
