Dimetrodon 3D print model

Long before the first dinosaurs ever roamed the Earth, the apex predator of the Permian period ruled the ancient swamps and forests — the Dimetrodon. With its large sail and powerful jaws, this early synapsid was a formidable presence in its ecosystem. In this model, the Dimetrodon is captured in a dynamic pose, with lifelike skin textures and an imposing sail that reflects its iconic appearance.

This 3D model is a faithful interpretation, ideal for collectors of prehistoric creatures, educational dioramas, or tabletop gaming with a paleontological twist. The design ensures all parts of the creature, including its detailed teeth and sail fin, are clearly visible and well defined.

Please note that the model is primarily designed for textured versions (OBJ + MTL in ZIP archive), allowing for a rich and visually detailed result when used with color-supported 3D printing or digital rendering. The non-textured version (STL, 3MF) may lack some surface details visible in the textured formats.

Infill: 10–15%

Formats Included: STL, OBJ, MTL, 3MF, FBX, BLEND (all in ZIP archive)

3D Viewer Files: STL and OBJ included separately for instant preview compatibility

Scaling Note:This model is designed in millimeters (mm). If it appears too small when imported into your slicer, ensure your software is set to mm units. If needed, scale the model up 100x if the slicer defaults to meters instead.
