Printed right side up. Everything was achieved via support setting optimization, and heated support removal where necessary (nose and lip in particular).

PLA holds up alright, but it’s gets brittle. There are just better choices.

Interesting point about the ABS, it appears to be holding up very good, but I’ll monitor it overtime.
