Hiram Percy Maxim (September 2, 1869 – February 17, 1936) was an American radio pioneer and inventor, and co-founder (with Clarence D. Tuska) of the American Radio Relay League (ARRL). Hiram Percy Maxim is credited with inventing and selling the first commercially successful firearm silencer, and also with developing mufflers for internal combustion engines.
All around great guy deserving of a 3d printable bust.  If he were alive today he would be into 3d printing.
I printed it with 5% infill.  I supersized it a bit.  I made the bottom 12-15 layers solid to add base weight. Â
I'm experimenting with AI.  I did do some changes to him in cad.  But he was made with and AI assistant. Â
I printed this twice.  I don't like AI models that are just renderings.  I like to print my models before posting them so they are proven. Â
Enjoy happy printing.
