This model was originally created to be used as an anatomy reference for artists. When I am collecting 2D reference images for a project I always find myself wanting the actual object to examine. It is always nice to have a skull sitting around to refer to when needed. I always use the skull along with more detailed 2D images of specific parts of the skull.
I decided to print this model with wood pla using a .25 nozzle at .05 layer height. It really looks fantastic. This skull is progressing from a reference model into a showpiece. The next step will be adding a dark wood stain.
If at all possible a tip would be greatly appreciated so I can keep designing and offering you free print files.

Notes:
This print took about 24 hours. You could definitely decrease the print time by using a .4 nozzle. Print as two separate pieces. The mandible does not need supports. Be careful with the teeth on the skull. If your support setting are off the teeth could come loose and wobble inside the support structure. *.25 nozzle at .05 layer height Size(approx.) Skull- H/ 64 mm W/ 55 mm D/ 79 mm Mandible- H/28mm W/ 50mm D/42mm
