<p>I used meshlab to find the center of gravity of the model, and then added a torus to the top of the head just above the XY coordinates of the center of gravity. This allows the thing to be hung (e.g., as a tree ornament) and retain its orientation, rather than pitching forward as it would if the torus were above the center of the flat head.</p><p>The photo shows the model resized to 50mm tall and printed at 0.06 and 0.3 layer height.</p><p>If you open the scad file, you'll see that the size and thickness of the torus can readily be modified, but it can't go much bigger than the size I've uploaded it at. You'll need to download the original .stl file from <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1559944">https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1559944</a> in order to use the scad file; as such, it's not suitable for use with the Customizer.</p><h3>Print instructions</h3><h3>Category: Sculptures Summary</h3><p>I used meshlab to find the center of gravity of the model, and then added a torus to the top of the head just above the XY coordinates of the center of gravity.
