Supports/rafts & Shaun the Sheep

I printed Shaun the Sheep.  The first attempt collapsed because there were no supports under his head and belly.

The next attempt included rafts, but added two hours to the print time.

It took about 15 minutes to carefully remove all the supports.  Many snapped off easily leaving little behind, but a few had to be cut off.  Then I had to file off the rough remains.
