I modified the this model to make it printable: https://3d.si.edu/object/3d/fossil-whale-excavation-site-mpc-677:a4068a00-9712-4c8e-8948-a9e2ea27fe0a
From the Smithsonian 3D-Model archive.
I find archaology really interesting and amazing so I decided to print this model out of the gigantic library.
But before I could turn on the printer, I had to repair the original file and modify it to make it sutable. I removed all the overhangs, of course without changing the geometry to much.
If you decide to print the model, I recomment that you print at with the smallest possible layer high, to get as much detail as possible.
This is a great model to show in biology lessions at school.
I would love to see your make!
