When printing large game characters, do you print them in one piece or cut them into smaller parts for easier assembly? What tools do you use to slice the model without ruining the details?

For big game characters, I learned the hard way that printing in one piece often leads to disaster—warped bases, support scars, and that moment when a single weak layer ruins a 30-hour print. So now I almost always cut them into smaller parts, usually along natural armor seams or limb joints, which makes assembly cleaner and sanding far less painful. I found a solid example of a well-sliced model at https://www.gambody.com/premium/flying-bike-tos-stl where the pre-cut parts actually fit together without gaps, and that changed my approach. Just go slow, print each piece with a slight brim, and test-fit before gluing.
