Instructions
Same as the original:
"Print the elephant using exterior support (I used 25% infil and 3 shells with ABS), remove support structure (being particularly careful around the delicate tusks), clean, and enjoy!"

I printed this without support, the tusks were difficult. I supported them by hand, and added in some plastic via with a hot knife after I was done. Overall, it looks great!
Glad it came out okay. Definitely meant to be printed with supports, you're a hero for doing it by hand.
This derivative isn't really needed for me anymore for prints like this, as increasing Slic3r's "Brim Width" setting makes a pretty effective raft for keeping prints like this in place during the initial layers. (Also helped with my companion cubes)
