Hollow-ish Skull

thingiverse

I took an excellent simplified human skull from "To Make or not to Make" and carefully hollowed it out in Tinkercad. The majority of the cranium was made hollow, and I drilled holes in the base and the back of the eye sockets. I'm planning on lighting this up with one of my cheap LED tea lights. My first test print failed due to support issues (I was using PVA on the second nozzle, but it seems to have jammed), and I noticed that the hollow cylinders I placed in the eye sockets did not go all the way into the cranium hollow. I created a new file called "Hollowish Skull with cheek support" which includes an attempt at adding cheek support and extended the hollow cylinders enough to actually penetrate 13 mm into the cranium. This second version has not been printed yet, nor have I finished my first print as of this posting. Files: - Hollowish Skull: "To Make or Not To Make" with a hollow cranium, hole in base, and 20 mm deep eye socket extensions (you can put lights in there or small cats, or something) - they are 13 mm short of actually penetrating into the hollow area. - Hollowish Skull with Cheek Support: Skull with empty cranium, hole through base, and eye sockets bored through into the empty cranium, plus pencil-like cheek bone supports. - Hollow Skull v2: Skull with empty cranium, hole through base, and eye sockets actually bored through into the empty cranium. This is still a work in progress.
