Aliens Face Hugger Bust Free 3D print model

You've probably noticed that I'm not exactly thrilled with the Alien movies... That being said, printing without infill can be done but I would advise against it - a small 5% infill will do just fine and supports should always be used while leaving rafts optional; they can make cleanup tricky. As it happens, this print provided me with a great opportunity to test out my design for a full-scale poseable facehugger which I've been working on. The goal was to keep the poly count as low as possible without sacrificing detail; I experimented with slicing the mesh at 2 million polygons and found that even that proved too heavy so I simplified it even further until I landed at an acceptably small file size of around 25 megabytes - still a relatively modest download size considering my final model stands 8 centimeters high.
