Pteranodon ; from Greek πτερόν and ἀνόδων is a genus of pterosaur that included some of the largest known flying reptiles, with P. longiceps having a wingspan of 6.5 m. They lived during the late Cretaceous geological period of North America in present-day Kansas, Alabama, Nebraska, Wyoming, and South Dakota. [From Wikipedia]

This pteranodon skeleton is designed to be printed in parts and assembled with paperclip wire and glue. I used pieces of paperclip wire (~20 mm long) to connect the wing bones for strength, since if it's printed at 100%, the wingspan of the assembled skeleton is ~42" [108 cm]! Snap together features would be really small and would not be strong enough at that size. The model works out to be about 1/6th scale compared to a full size pteranodon fossil skeleton. Please see the pictures in the Documentation section to see where each part goes.

Many thanks to Holden Williams [https://sketchfab.com/Rag02] for making his original 3D model available for this project. I have made numerous modifications that may not be completely accurate, but make printing the parts easier.

Note: Based on feedback from NathanChronister on Thingiverse, I've included files for a Larger Head Option (see Documentation section). The replacement Cranium and Mandible are scaled up 140% to better match the head scale in Dr. Scott Harman's skeletal drawings. Use the replacement Neck part as well to attach the larger head to the body.
