Parasaurolophus skull display - no supports

prusaprinters

I wanted to make my own rendition of Parasaurolophus skull, which was also easy to print. I tried to be accurate when sculpting it, but I'm no paleontologist, so I'm sorry in advance to all the dinosaur experts I might offend with this!There are a few trickier spots on the skull, but I was able to print all the parts on my Prusa MK3 without supports. My print settings:0,15mm layer height (0,2mm for the stand)15% infillNo supports Only for “stand_rod”: printed with small brim for better adhesion Print instructionsPrint all parts in their original orientation, no supports needed if your printer can handle some bridging and overhangsConnector_square - 4 copies neededConnector_round - 2 copies neededI reccommend printing the stand, nameplate and stand rod in different appropriate colors for a more interesting final product. Assembly instructionsVery straight-forward to combine all the pieces of the head and jaw using printed connectors. Use super glue to fasten together as needed. The jaw can be snapped into the head by slighly compressing it from the sides.Nameplate should also be fastened by super-glue. The rod should be stable with just friction fit.Post-processingFor added realism, try weathering the print. I am a newbie at this, but I used a white primer spray, and then smeared black and brown acrylic paint on it to create the fossil-like texture (as seen in picture 2). Next time I'd use putty to cover up the connections.  I hope you enjoy this print!
