Decided to take on this "MONSTER" of a project in Blender :) I printed in one piece with lots of support material. I made a sample at 50% scale and it
...Plus worked out well. The one shown is 100% scale. One caveat worth mentioning is that the tentacle that reaches up and over the top of the nautilus may need to be detached and reattached to insert the nautilus. I used a toothpick inside the tentacle to hold it temporarily until I decide to glue it back permanently. Please let me know what you guys think and how I can improve!
