3D printed full size Velociraptor skull

Recommended Posts

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.

Regards,

Adriano

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...

Nice color; did you used airbrush to paint it? Are you going to leave teeth white?

Great paint job. I like your color choice.

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
