Hello,

I want to cut a life size mannequin digital hollow sculpt that I made in zbrush into even size parts and then print them out in 3D and then glue them together. I do not own a 3D printer nor have I ever used one. I have a Fab Lab available in my area, but alternatively i have the option of building or buying a printer (budget: 2000 $ max).

Does anyone here have any experience or knowledge about printing out human-sized objects in parts (like 40 individual parts?) using a small or medium-sized 3D printer? Could there be any loss of accuracy and precision which would prevent a perfect re-assembly of all the parts?

I have googled to try and find if someone has done 3D printing a human size object in parts, but with no luck.

Thank you for reading.
