Stegosaurus Split

thingiverse

My kid really took a liking to this dinosaur model, so we decided to work together to get it ready to print. To make it easier to handle once it's done printing, I split the original design in two along the center line. It still needs some additional support for its legs, but that's not too complicated - we can just place a supporting element on the inside of the part and smooth out any imperfections easily with a gentle sanding or cleaning action afterwards. To put it all together, simply glue the two halves into one complete piece. If desired, we can even add an extra layer of protection and make the finish feel really smooth by taking it through a vapor dip process afterwards.
