3D Print Profile of Alexander the Great - A Remix of Scan the World’s Original File

 

This is a remix of the 3D print profile of Alexander the Great, a stunning and highly detailed rendition of one of history's most iconic figures. This original file profile is a scan of the real thing uploaded by Scan the World. I downloaded their scan and realized that the base wasn't flat. If printed as they uploaded it there was no way the model could ever stand. The model didn't even stand up vertically! I changed the orientation to vertical, then cut the bottom so the base would be flat. I then messed with the infil. I also worked on the supports so the print would work well. Once i had all the settings right, I got to this print profile and model. I think this is the optimal profile for printing! I hope you enjoy my remix!

 

A note on supports: There are a bunch of supports. Don't exert a ton of force to just rip them off! Focus on breaking their connections slowly and one at a time. Once a few on a tree start breaking, it will make it much easier to remove the rest with a single pull of the tree. The supports have a 0.24 distance at top, so if you are gentle they won't scar your statute.

 

A note on speed: Don't rush this print. There are a bunch of supports and the model has great details. If you speed up the print too much either may get messed up, ruining your print.
