Alien Skull

thingiverse

Aliens! Started with a rough shape from an Onshape document I created. Then transformed it into something much more interesting using MeshMixer. 10-31-16 Update: Added a larger version (180mm tall), smoother one with a hanger slot on the back. 11-1-16 Update: Added a smaller version (50mm tall) with a hole on the back for a 12mmx3mm magnet. Also added eyebrow horns and widened the head slightly. Printer Settings Printer: Tronxy X3 Supports: No Resolution: 0.3mm Infill: 10% Notes: Printed in old ABS. My print room was cool and had no enclosure yet, so my ABS split in a few places. I planned to finish it with acetone, so it wasn't a loss. Printed without supports on the back of the head. It took about 6.5 hours on my printer. Your mileage may vary. Post-Printing Brushed on acetone (only works for ABS and ASA) and then packed the cracks with filament. Then applied more acetone with lots of brush strokes, removing excess. Let it dry a bit and added more. How I Designed This Started with a very loose shape in Onshape and exported it as an STL into MeshMixer. Then worked on it until it was alien enough for me.
