OK, I didn't do much of the work for this one! I was browsing various other 3D download sites, thinking how bad most of the free models are for 3D printing and found this : http://www.archibase.net/download/27844.html I thought it could be printable. So, downloaded it & imported the .3ds file into Google Sketchup. Realised that it wasn't perfect, so added a base and a support for the chin. I also decided to add a void in the middle to hopefully use a bit less plastic but still have something to "fill" for strength. The void has a flat top. My printer did a reasonable job of printing the flat with no support. First layer a bit sketchy, second was fine. I'm guessing there would be better ways to do the chin support as well but this was a quick job!
