3D Printed Hairy Lion

This Lion was printed using Hatchbox Bronze PLA on the Geeetech MeCreator2. It printed great on the first try. I wish I had used a long blade knife to cut the hair from the shroud, but it still removed fairy easily. The hardest part is trying to sculpt his hair. I used a heat gun, but a hair dryer would have worked better and would have been more fitting. LOL!!!

The model I used can be found here: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2007221

Okay but the backstory behind this statue is dope af. The artist behind it Jason deCaires Taylor, he does a bunch of other underwater art pieces that many of you have probably seen on the internet……. He owns the first UNDERWATER MUSEUM in Cancun which has sculptures like these: 

He even did sculptures in London called “The Rising Tide”, so that when the high tide comes around, the statues are completely underwater. 

And the best part about the underwater Museums is that the Museum’s environment is 100% protected and conserved under the artist. Which means the marine life won’t be subject to careless oil spills and pollution. 

So yeah…. art can be turned into something that helps out the world in its little ways and that’s the shit I live for
