Hi!
This one is something classic.A8 bits invaders generator.
WithCustomizer you can create afull fleet ready for print in one file.
As a random generator, it depends of a numeric seed (up to 19 digits). Every seed creates different invaders. Try different seeds until you get a nice one!
Each generationproduces three files: The 'invaders', a base or support that fits, and a third file with invaders and base together.
Recomended: Flow Calibrator (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1662342) to ensure the invaders fits in the support.
Some examples and info about customization in images below.
Also added the 3 STL's used in printing tests (seed=123).
Have fun!!
Printer:

Rafts:
Doesn't Matter
Resolution:
0.2

Infill acts as inner supports avoiding holes in top of figure. Recomended a 10% or 15%
The size of every 'pixel' is 5mm. Height of base is 5mms and has a flat bottom of 1 mm Due to 1mm bottom, invaders are 4mm height

Software tools
Adjust the flow oy your printer. TryFlow Calibrator (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1662342)
If your slicer software have an option to control the size of polygons (Cura has the 'Horizontal Expansion' parameter) you can use it to make a better fit.
Hardware tools
Pliers are your friends.
Murphy says: if don't fit try with a hammer. (it works. tested!)
You can also apply hot water and push carefully
Cura 'Horizontal Expansion' parameter may be useful for an easy invader-base fit
