Donovan,

Output and 3D print your sculpture in segments using wax filament, and cast each segment, and assemble and polish in post production.

Doing it this way will allow you far more options, because now you will be able to access 3D printers with a smaller print capacity, which I'm guessing there are a lot more printers to choose from. Large capacity 3D printers are still scarce, especially when you're wanting to print metal products.

This option will still be expensive, but I think it should be considerably less than 3D printing your sculpture directly in stainless.


Good Luck,
