This is a remix of Shakespeare at Leicester Square, London from the Scan the World archive at MyMiniFactory.com. It was just something we felt that the 3D printing community needed. Admittedly, we did this a while back and have been bad about getting around to publishing the share-alike version of the remix, as the license it was published under compels. But here it is, nonetheless. We love him.
We altered quite a few things on it (most notably the scroll) from his tassels and collar to his scroll finger and right heel, but as mentioned, it's been a while. If you're interested, please feel free to download the original and go over it. ;) https://www.myminifactory.com/object/william-shakespeare-at-leicester-square-london-4346
We have also made a version with the original scroll writing that says "THERE IS NO DARKNESS BUT IGNORANCE" and will get it posted shortly.
Sculpted by Giovanni Fontana after an original by Peter Scheemakers, the one in Leicester Square has formed the centerpiece of the Gardens there in London since 1874. Clearly, this object is in the Public Domain.
If you're printing this on an FDM printer, it probably goes without saying, but you'll need to be extraordinarily careful removing his supports. I created the supports by hand in Meshmixer at the time. Go slowly. Lots of patience. Super result.
