If I google 'Humunculi' I am being corrected into 'Homunculi' and it tells me it means little man / a microscopic but fully formed human being from which a fetus was formerly believed to develop.
I am curious to see/read some background info on what exactly I am looking at (but it looks pretty good, and I think you did a good job on the paint! Was it hard to paint over Nylon?)
That would be the proper spelling. I just did not check the first time and then decided I did like the misspelling.
It is a fractal that I found winding through different types of fractals and playing with settings until I got something that caught my eye.
I called it Humunculi because, to me, it looks a bit like a person with a smaller person inside.
Not all homunculi were microscopic though. In some myths and stories, they were the 'familiars' to a sorcerer and were just small things to go out and spy and bring back information.
There are variations on this depending on the source.
Edit: Oh! The painting!! I found that using an acetone based paint, or something like that, would seem to sink in a bit and stiffen the nylon as well as provide a good primer to paint on.
When I get my Allosaurus I am making for my daughter finished, I will post it as it was printed in Nylon and then painted in a few ways.
But I am finding that the primer you choose will make a great difference.

Cura 5.7 is here and it brings a handy new workflow improvement when using Thingiverse and Cura together, as well as additional capabilities for Method series printers, and a powerful way of sharing print settings using new printer-agnostic project files! Read on to find out about all of these improvements and more.
S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 was released Nov. 20th on the "Latest" firmware branch.
(Sorry, was out of office when this released)
This update is for...
All UltiMaker S series
New features
Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.
