REMIX from Scan The World: Winged Victory of Samothrace at The Louvre, Paris

thingiverse

When I first downloaded this beautiful reproduction, I noticed that it was HUGE. It was designed to be printed at like a meter in height. When I got it down to fit in my average size 3D printer, the whole thing printed to be about 6 in tall-- not impressive. I re-sized and cut it into two pieces to double the size of the piece to about a foot total which is at least respectable for such a classic. The real issue to making it any bigger is the size of the wings which span my whole printing chamber. The pieces glue together beautifully and there is barely a noticeable seam because it looks like part of the figure. You MUST print both pieces with supports or you will have a serious mess. This object is part of "Scan The World".
