I have made a cringe whoopsie.
I found this really pretty statue of Aphrodite on Thingiverse forever ago and I loved that she had long very curly hair like my fiance does.
So I printed it and included it in a few altar locations in the house.
My buddy has been trying to get back in a relationship for a while now and I thought
"Oh, hell I have these cool statues of Aphrodite set to print on demand. I should make him one as a charm to bring about love"
So I did and I gave it to him and he goes
"Why does she have 6 fingers?"
🙃
So, after I told my nurse of a fiance about them being AI generated, they took one and looks it over and gave me a fun anatomy lesson and I learned a whole bunch of new things that AI can't get right on a 3D model of a person.
So if anyone has recommendations for Aphrodite statues or a good source for other gods that I can 3D print. Please let me know! It doesn't need to be historic art it just needs to not be AI
I currently browse a lot of Geoffrey Marchal's work as he does 3D scans of statues, but they often kinda suck to print.

I also like mediu3D on Cults for their busts. I have Hypatia and Plato busts on standby to hand out to people who want to join Plato club

@nagaram@gts.thinkstoomuch.net I remember seeing some big antiquities organization that has free STL downloads. A quick search pointed me at The Smithsonian, but I didn't find one there immediately. Might be worth a look for you though.
