<p>I love the <i>Dinos and Comics</i> strip on Instagram.</p><p>And I wanted to print some T-Rexes as gifts. I did find an STL on Cults3D - but it was flawed. So I created my own.</p><p>Here's my process:</p><ul><li>Get a PNG from Google Image Search.</li><li>Vectorize with InkScape, clean up the outline and save as SVG.</li><li>Simplify this outline to just the external contour in Inkscape, save as a second SVG.<br>&nbsp;</li><li>Import external contour SVG in Blender (first-time use for me :) and extrude.</li><li>Import outline SVG and carefully place on top of first extrusion, then also extrude.</li><li>Export to STL.<br>&nbsp;</li><li>Slice with two external perimeters, two bottoms and three tops, 20% infill.</li><li>Print with DasFilament Tom3D's Infintiy Blue PLA on my Ender 3.</li><li>Colorize using ink markers.</li></ul><p>I hope you like it as much as I do! If so, please leave a make.<br>I also include the outline SVG file so you can experiment yourself …</p><p>To hang them to the wall with a small nail, you can use my ornament wall <a href="hook:https://www.printables.com/model/161208-wall-hook-for-ornaments-and-pictures">hook:</a></p><p><a href="https://www.printables.com/model/161208-wall-hook-for-ornaments-and-pictures">https://www.printables.com/model/161208-wall-hook-for-ornaments-and-pictures</a></p>
