Actually I fabbed 3, but they're all the same model. Largest is at 100%, then 50, then 25.  Can be printed hollow with the top removed for a nice light holder.

Enjoy!

Edit: You do need to rotate the model 180deg on either X or Y to orient him for printing.  I usually just use RH to re-orient and I don't give it a second thought...
