Print a Large 3D Bust

What do you do once you've got a big enclosure? Print something big! This is a 3D scan of my parents that's meant to approximate a bronze bust.  The scan itself was done by Pendragon 3D Arts as two separate scans, and then merged in the editor to take the form of a classic bust. 
 
At first I tried actually printing in bronze infused filament, but that required buffing to look good, and the buffer couldn't get into all of the nooks and crannies. Instead, I printed again in green and simply spray painted it bronze.
 
This showcases the new huge CR10 S5 printer, where the enclosure is just small enough to fit on a folding table. Its three times the size of a smaller 3D Prusa-style printer enclosure.
