Description
Summary
Remixed the Marcus Aurelius bust in Blender to be much larger. Split it into four parts with notches to help connect them together. The actual bust in the Louvre is 66cm tall-- when assembled, this stands at about 42cm tall (I need a bigger printer).

Notes:
Used about 1.5kg of filament, so like $30 worth. If you are better at modelling than me, you can probably hollow it out and decrease the number of supports on the inside to cut down a bunch.rnrnI angled this in such a way that the supports connected to the back of the model, so that the front-facing features would look better.
Post-Printing
I haven't done this yet, but I was planning to friction weld the seams and then sand them down so they don't show up as much.
How I Designed This
Used the boolean modifier in Blender to split the model up, and add slots and notches.
