Michaelangelo's David Bust bisected at a 45 for cleanest print

Description

I cut this scan of David by Cosmo Wenman via the Scan the World project on MyMiniFactory at a 45 for the cleanest possible print. Fusion 360 made the file too large for printing, but reduce the scale the same amount for both parts for your preference. Part of the reason I cut it up was to print a human head sized version on my Ender 3 (hat in photo for reference) It's a very intricate model, but the angle I cut it at prevents supports from marring David's face. Most supports are just to hold up underneath the overhang of the bust above the columnar pedestal, and then sections of hair on the head section. You will want supports (probably tree), and you'll want high resolution settings. Print to preference other than that. Maybe a brim for the neck part. I did not make peg holes or anything, since I just match them up as best I can and cover seams with filler/primer. The shape of the model is quite unstable if rocked or knocked...the head is positioned forwards on the column instead of on the center, so when you glue together the two parts, you'll want to make sure you have a VERY stable spot before you apply adhesive.
