Nomai statue (outer wilds)(plus glowing eyes)

WARNING: Read the entire post or your print will fail.

I love this game. Very few games achieve perfection and this is one of them.
I really like the way of life of the Nomai and this bust is beautiful. So I thought this print would be a great adition to my collection.
As usual, this took way longer than expected. I thought that I could rip the model of the game and print it, but I had to rework every vertex to make it smooth and 3d printable.
I included a pic on how it was ripped from the game and how it ended after the reworking.

This model is split for easier printing and painting, it also has a glowy eye version.
The mane, torso and axis pieces have holes to pass the wires for the eye leds.
I include a pic of the 3 volt led that I used

I also included a pic on how to orient and support each piece (warning, mane and face need special consideration, keep reading)

//Warning//

Face and mane have a really intricate interface, if your printer is not perfectly square you will end up with a gap between them.
You may say: "I printed a calibration cube and measure it with calipers and all sides measured the same"
Yea. But rhombuses have equal length sides and they are not squares.
Almost all printers are off square. Especially mine that is a cantilever.
So, how to print them for a correct fit?
It doesn't matter if your peg is a rhombus as long as your hole is a rhombus as well.
The trick is to print face and mane at the same orientation so they have the same deformation.
Pick an orientation that work for both of them and print it both pieces with the same rotation.
You say: But you print them with different rotation...
Yes, I learn the hard way. I choose to fill the gap instead of cleaning supports, but in hindsight I would print the mane face up.

There are 2 sets of eyes: One golden an another smooth without pupils with a hole for the led.
If you choose to print the glowy version. Print them at 45º to avoid concentric lines, at the lowest possible resolution (.04 for mine) and as many perimeter you need to make them solid.
You can print them in violet, I print mine in white and paint them with violet acrylics on the inside.
And print the face with a dark color and paint it later. If you print it white the light of the eyes will spill to the face and show the infill.

It was all painted with acrylics

here is also a closed eyes version of the face

I also included a model for a tree pot and a image with it's design.
You can print the design with an inkjet printer and transfer it to the pot with a cotton ball and acetone.(nail polish remover)

//End of warning//

Disclaimer: I wanted to make the golden eyes version, so I printed the glowy eyes set only to test them. (pics of the test included) So; the pic of statue with glowing eyes is a shotofop of the statue with golden eyes and the pic of my glowy eyes test.

NOTE: prusaslicer can't handle obj's very well. open them in 3d builder or mesh mixer and save them as stl. or use the includes stl (not tested)
