I've purchased the Mandalorian helmet and I'm getting ready to print it on my new Ender 3 printer. How do you guys recommend I sliced the model so that it fits on my printer.

i came here to ask the same question! i am getting myself in a pickle tricking to decide the right way to approach this, but haven't been able to find much advice... other than buy a bigger printer :(
I ended up splitting the helmet up into 4 pieces and they fit my Ender 3. I used Meshmixer to split the model. The top halves above the t-vistor and the bottom halves being the front up to where the rim ends. I suggest you play with it and see how it fits using Cura. I also found some useful tutorials here: http://bobsworkshop.com/the-mandalorian-helmet-part-2-assembly/

I'd love to see how yours it's coming up. I just finished gluing the pieces last night.
My personal way..... I would put it in meshmixer, and slice it into 4 parts. That would require little to no supports at all and then welding it together from the inside.
