Title | Jeanne Maillotte |
Of all the statues that are available here as 3D printable files this one is my favorite. Sorry, Abe Lincoln. Sorry, Marcus Aurelius. Sorry, Gottfried Heinrich. You are great but you can’t compete with Jeanne. Maybe it’s because we still don’t really know if she actually existed. The miniature was printed out with standard settings (PLA, 0.4mm nozzle, 0.15mm layers, vertical print) on an FDM printer. Could have used the resin printer but this gets me to pay more attention and appreciate the result better. Some time last year her right arm got crushed, so I had to re-print that out again separately – but no matter, it only made me like her more.
