Alien Face Hugger - Simplified

If I have seen further than others, it's because I've stood on the shoulders of giants. -- Isaac Newton Take a listen to R.E.M. singing this quote while you print this incredible model. I reworked an amazing design from Agisis and came up with a slightly modified version. I printed the original but spent too much time gluing it together, only to find out that things didn't line up perfectly. It may have been my printer or my skills... whatever the reason, it was far from perfect. Using MeshMixer, I digitally rebuilt all the segments and smoothed out the joints. Then, standing them upright, I printed these on my MakerBot G5 with Supports and got a very easy-to-assemble version. The design belongs to Agisis; I just put the pieces together and reoriented them. Removing support material and sanding was much easier than what I went through with the original.
