Dodo Skeleton

Dodo Skeleton 3D print model

Description

Modelled on a decimated 3-D scan of the Thirioux dodo skeleton on display at the Durban Natural Science Museum in South Africa. The skeleton has been digitally remounted in an anatomically correct pose. The stance has been lowered and the angle between the pelvis and the ribcage skeleton made less acute, amongst others. The original specimen is the subject of a newly published anatomical atlas of the dodo (Raphus cucullatus), the first major revision of dodo anatomy since 1866.

I've included a 30cm tall version and a 1m tall version for anyone who had problems resizing it using online printers without their own 3d software.

Hello:) Is from the actual scan or was the actual scan ONLY referenced for this model?

Hi, I used a scan as reference. The only scan I was able to find was incomplete and only available as reference. I was unable to download the model so made one myself :)

Can the Dodo be printed by any 3d printer using FDM technology?

Yes as long as you do not try and print it too small - the smaller you print it the thinner the walls of any model with small parts gets difficult. If you're going for above 10cm it will work.

Can the dodo be printed using Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) technology?

Sorry only obj, Stl and light wave files. I haven’t heard of pla.

I love this, effort required to support correctly but excellent once printed.

Total waste of money. The dodo skeleton is very small...just a few inches tall. Seller never replied to messages. I want my money back!
