Mount Rushmore National Memorial is a sculpture carved into the granite face of Mount Rushmore, a granite batholith formation in the Black Hills in Keystone, South Dakota, United States. Sculpted by Danish-American Gutzon Borglum and his son, Lincoln Borglum, Mount Rushmore features 60-foot (18 m) sculptures of the heads of four United States presidents: George Washington (1732–1799), Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826), Theodore Roosevelt (1858–1919), and Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865). The entire memorial covers 1,278.45 acres (2.00 sq mi; 5.17 km2) and is 5,725 feet (1,745 m) above sea level.

I gathered up as many CC photos as I could find from around the Internet to create this model. The resolution and clarity of the photos varied widely so getting fine detail wasn't possible.
The bulk and mass of this model of Mt. Rushmore is extremely faithful to the original, albeit lacking in the finest details.
Resized to 50%, printed with 15% infill, 0,1mm layers and 2 outlines at 50mm/s. Printed with supports but it maybe possible without due to the fact that the model is hollow.
