Olenoides serratus

[thorst]

Hi all,

 

here is another of my recent models. It is a full-scale Olenoides serratus trilobite I did this summer. Like my Archaeopteryx skeleton, it was modelled in Blender and printed using an Anycubic Photon printer. I used clear resin and painted it with very thin layers, such that the model retains a realistic level of translucency, especially on the legs, gills and antennae. Attached are some photographs and a render of the parts. You can download the model files at thingiverse to print your own one. The length without antennae is about 7cm.

 

Cheers,

Thorsten

That's a very beautiful and detailed model.

I'm currently trying to learn 3d modelling in blender for some of my own Palaeo Re-Creations.

I think I will try to print this beauty but I'm not sure my FDM printer can handle it, even at a larger scale.

Gorgeous!

Magnificent, and amazing!

Good luck with that! I'd love to see your version!

WOW.

 

My new printers don't get delivered till at least February, but I'm going to have to have a bunch of these.

Cool,

What model?

We have 2 RAISE 3D Pro2Plus large formats and a "brand to be determined" SLA going into our new applied sciences lab. I'm also looking for a laser sinter printer so we can work in metal too.

I just run the labs, so I'm ordering what the Applied Sciences proffs tell me.

That's awesome

I wish I could get an SLA printer, but for now I just have my Sovol SV01.

I would love to see what you print on those!

I need the SLA for cell culture scaffolds and the like, they are also handy for stuff I use in my research...no clue what the rest of the gang will use them for. I predict a plague of trilobites however....as I will need to "test and calibrate: <wink>

Very nice.
