thingiverse

This print originates from the scan of an actual upper shell of an Eastern Box turtle (Terrapene carolina carolina) kept in Summit Metro Parks' collection (pictured right). The uploaded .stl is true-to-life, unaltered, including thin points in the bone such as where the pelvis would sit. A model with supports added can be uploaded upon request. This shell was scanned using ROMER Scan Arm at Case Western Reserve University's Sears [think]box. The print (pictured left) was printed at the Akron-Summit County Public Library, TechZone@Main, using 1.75mm white PLA filament. The scan was edited using Autodesk Meshmixer. The white print pictured is for exhibit use and had XTC-3D coating applied with maximum infill and 2mm minimum thickness for durability.
