Platypus Skull

This model is based on CT scan data provided by the DigiMorph project at The University of Texas at Austin:
Obdurodon dicksoni — https://www.digimorph.org/specimens/Obdurodon_dicksoni/

I cleaned the mesh using Meshmixer, split it into two printable halves, and optimized it for ASA printing on the Bambu Lab X1C with tree supports. This version includes a print-tested .3mf file and is ready to go with minimal cleanup.

More Information: 
The specimen was scanned by Richard Ketcham on 12-13 November 1998 along the coronal axis for a total of 612 512x512 pixel slices. Each slice is 0.26 mm thick, with an interslice spacing of 0.22 mm (for a slice overlap of 0.04 mm) and a field of reconstruction of 53 mm.

This is a tricky print, and as you can see in my sliced file, there was minor bit of support structure flailing about, but the model printed fine. Word to the wise, be very careful with the cheekbones, I cracked one of them removing the supports. Overall, this print came out amazingly well. I spent a long time figuring out the best way to slice it and optimizing the settings so it looked real. I used Bambulab white ASA. This is a life-size skull. 

Note: The .stl file is for the whole skull (one piece) which does not include the lower mandible. The original scans did not include the lower mandible. Would love to see others print a platypus skull as well. Post pictures!
