Badger skull

Hello!  This is my very first 3D model, and I’m excited to share it with you.

A friend of mine is really into real skulls (the kind you’d usually keep on a shelf…), but I wanted to create a version that’s more portable, safe, and easy to display—something you can bring anywhere, print in different sizes, and even paint without worrying about the “real thing.”

So I started from an original skull, took a bunch of reference photos, and then rebuilt it as a 3D model by translating the shapes and details from 2D images into a printable 3D form. For a first project, I’m honestly really happy with how it turned out—the proportions and overall look came out super clean.

Printing notes / tips

• Works great as a desk display, studio prop, or painting project
• Try printing at a slower speed for cleaner surface detail
• If you want a smoother finish, lightly sand before painting (especially on curved areas)

I’ll keep improving the model, finishing details, and painting a version soon—and I’ll share updates as I go.

If you like it, please download it and print your own :)
I’d love to see your results—post a make and let me know what filament/colors you use!

Hope you enjoy it!
Andrea
