can someone doing 3D printing take a look at the pictures? i have no idea about these things, but it looks like the ears would be some crazy overhangs.
from the reflection of the light i assume, the statue was printed bottom to top. so how did they manage to do the ears?
Decent modern printers can handle overhangs fairly well. If the overhangs get too big you can use supports. If you want to get fancy there are filaments meant to be used only as supports in a multi-material print that dissolve in water so they don’t leave marks on the print.
FWIW I don’t think it was printed upside down. It would complicate things and would require more supports for no benefit.
