Variable. I built it as a single sheet water tight solid mesh for printing small copies, and then broke it up into three watertight meshes for larger printing.
I'm going to be getting the Buccaneer Pirate 3D printer as soon as it comes out (kickstarter is a wonderful thing), and it has a print volume of about a cubic foot.
Which means this could potentially be in the 2-2.5 foot upper limit range as currently modeled. Splitting it into quarters would be easy enough, so I could make it even bigger if needed.
Figure it should be a good testbed for various scales to see how well the printer does, lots of tight corners and long flat spaces as well as some tight detail up in the dome light.
Really get the hang of how to print this stuff before I try it on the sword I'm doing (which like everything else is an on again off again project).
