In the statue, the Greek hero Herakles was shown close to exhaustion on completion of the twelve labors set him by Eurystheus, ruler of the Argolid. The contrast between his powerful physique and his weary stance is echoed in this particularly fine rendition of his noble head, which is bowed with fatigue. The statue was copied in many different sizes during the Roman period. Instructions Updated file to clean up base. Printed in PLA at 0.10 mm layer height, 3 shells, no infill, raft and supports. To minimize the need for support, in your slicing software tilt the head back so that the angle of the underside of the nose from the vertical is less than the angle at which your software is set to generate support.
