Gorn bust (not a hernia!)
Description
A bust of the Gorn (star trek 'Arena')
While this is not a perfect replica,
I tried to make the bust as printer friendly as possible.
The Print I got using the
Makerbot replicator at .27 slice accelerated settings, came out without any print issues.
Painted it and added some magnets to the bottom.
Result? an awesome hood ornament!!
Or a testament to how much of a geek I am.
We report, You decide.
Modeled in Sculptris and Truespace 5

Instructions
I printed this overnight.
i went big and printed with 15% infill 2 shells
it took over 10 hours.
I used the infill because of the large areas which would
no doubt get gaps if i went 0% infill.
in a smaller print you could probably get away with the 0% infill, and just do the fill in the gaps as I often do.
I did this because I was making a really big print that I wanted the gaps at a minimum.

Yay! People in rubber suits! You need a character from the Outer Limits and Twilight Zone to round out your Rubber Suited Shack of Horrors.
