Matt Parker of Stand-up Maths covered Donald Grace's 1962 discovery in a recent video. It's the global maximum largest 8 vertex shape to fit inside a unit radius sphere, and potentially the first shape found via computer and not humans.
Scale the model to fit your desired size. It's been uploaded at 10% of a 1 meter radius sphere in an attempt to appease the SI gods.
No support needed, but a brim doesn't hurt due to the sharp corners on layer 1.
