Coypu (Nutria) River Rat Original Skull Scan

thingiverse

Don't waste hundreds of thousands of dollars buying a Coypu cast at places like SkullsUnlimited or BoneClones when you can own YOUR VERY OWN 3D print of this precious skull! I personally spent days cooking the meat off and buffing a decomposed head to a spotless shine (I really did), just so you can own this beloved, environmentally friendly, warm and fuzzy rodent. This is a scan of a real Coypu (also called a Nutria or River Rat) skull from my personal collection, and now you can own it for the low price of zero dollars! (Just pay additional shipping costs.) Kidding - you download it. (But seriously, you can send me money if you want.) Print it, use it for teaching, enlarge it and make a hat, stick a doodad in its teeth, or simply educate yourself about this giant rat. If you use it for any other purpose than personal, be sure to comment me for proper attribution. Please post a photo to share if you print this one, and check out my other scans of skulls and bones at http://www.thingiverse.com/dricketts/designs.

Print Settings: Rafts: Yes Supports: Yes How I Designed This DIY Coypu Skull... I convinced a coypu to give up its head. Then, I boiled it for one hour (brain included) to remove excess grease. Next, I placed it in a tank of hungry corpse beetles for the weekend. After that, I cleaned off any remaining sticky pieces. Finally, I used hydrogen peroxide and coated it with paraloid-B before scanning and sharing!
