Professor Farnsworth - need help with print direction

[Davision]

If you print A your supports will be at the back of the head and any cleanup less visible (that's if you print with support). B would be a real pain to clean up.

It makes sense but unfortunately A did not work out at all. It already fell apart at the beginning of the neck early on.

I then tried to slice it in 2 parts down along the nose but that then heavily distorted. Mainly the upper head got squashed quite a lot, which then bend the whole seam somehow, too much to ever glue a 2nd part on it.

I'm now trying it with his forehead on the plate, will be also a pain to clean up but at this point I would be already happy with something that comes out at least somewhat decent.

Here is how that looks with meshmixer generated supports:

I also added several more chunky vertical pillars inside which hopefully help to keep it from distorting
