Undead Cat ABS Print

Had sculpted this undead cat a while back,

Here are the first prints via shapeways


I love shapeways, their quality and range of material options is unrivalled.. but
- their shipping costs sometimes cost more than the cost of the print, and
- the shipments take 2-3weeks to get to my part of the world.

So I got my maker buddy Vincent to see if these files can be printed on one of the printers he has.. heres the first print in ABS from a Prusa -

There are some visible issues with splitting etc.. but the detail is astounding!
I'm very impressed. Took around 6+ hrs with 10% infill.

Here it is after all the cracks glued back and some copper hand painted details

and here it is next to the old shapeways print
