Muscular discobolus almost no support

thingiverse

I didn't make this scan; I found it here https://www.myminifactory.com/object/discobolus-at-the-british-museum-london-7896. Their Scan The World program is fantastic, by the way! This Discobolus is a modern retake because its head position matches the wrongly restored (and thus unique) British Museum replica, which you can see on http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1894078 and my no-support remix at http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2026127. Despite being authentic, this version arguably has a more impressive physique and probably looks better on your table. I'm not a fan of supports; I hate removing them and hate it even more when they leave scars on beautiful models. That's why I cut the model into four pieces that can be printed with almost no support and then glued together. Here are the instructions: Print the base and left arm without support, print the right arm with support everywhere at 75 degrees so only the four fingers and the bottom of the discus are supported, print the torso with support touching bed at 75 degrees so only two armpits are supported. My result (150% scale) came out pretty nice. Enjoy!

Clean and glue with E6000 (superglue dries too quickly for alignment adjustments). Put on table and admire ancient ingenuity!
