It's the Idea, inspired by What Do You Do With An Idea? by Kobi Yamada and Mae Besom.
The body was modeled in 123D Sculpt+, and the crown was modeled in Onshape. I combined them in Simplify3D, and have saved that combined model, which is what I printed, to this repository as an STL.
I found this prints best at full infill. Since I used Simplify3D, I was able to print the legs and the crown at 0.15mm resolution, full infill, and the body of the idea at 0.2mm resolution, 10% infill.
I didn't need any supports to print this, but I used a 4-shell 2-layer brim around the feet to make sure that it stuck to the print plate.
I printed mine in Type A Machines' ProMatte, which, as it turns out, is an excellent filament for post-processing! I recommend setting up your printer using their ProMatte Cura Profile Settings as a guideline. The 3rd and 4th photos I included here are from before I sanded the model.
