The Brain from 'Pinky & the Brain'

This is a model of "the Brain" from the famous comic "Pinky & the Brain". It was downloaded on the google sketchup galery (http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/details?mid=92e8096d7b66f85fbdcbf69e15b6a7e0&prevstart=0) and modified to look a little bit better at the eyes, nose and the chin, which didn't look like "the Brain" in the sketchup model. As I tried to print it with slic3r's automatic support, the generated gcode looked horrible, so I created some manual support structures in openSCAD to make it printable without destroying the face, ears and arms. First tries showed that it is tricky to print the cheeks, but helping my reprap during the print by pushing down the first few layers of them resulted in a nice looking object. It was printed in white PLA with a layer thickness of 0.15mm using a 0.25mm nozzle. Unfortunately I didn't find any model of "pinky", so "the Brain" has to take over the world himself.
