adriano Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 I'm 3D printing this Velociraptor's skull - https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2736627 Details are very realistic, but I didn't found any real Raptor's skull image to compare. Internet is full of replicas... Anyway, if you're going to 3D print it, consider that it is a very pain. It is badly split, and it is not very easy to 3D print: more than half of the pegs will break and some of the pieces have mesh issues. Also, I suggest to print teeth flat on the 3D printing bed, and not as the original STL. I will update the post with new images as I glue and paint it.

adriano Posted September 6, 2018 Author Share Posted September 6, 2018 Teeth glued (2 hours of work!). Tomorrow I will paint it. I'm still deciding if painting like sand or dark brown/black as many dinosaurs... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adriano Posted September 10, 2018 Author Share Posted September 10, 2018 Here we go! This is the final version of the Velociraptor skull. Video has subtitles with the explanation of the painting process. I hope you like it! I used the Alfawise U20 3D printer - https://www.gearbest.com/3d-printers-3d-printer-kits/pp_1841229.html?wid=1433363&lkid=14682927 10 hours ago, Natalie81 said: Hi Adriano, Here a topic abouth the 3D skull....
