Moosehead with a story!

Combined two moose-antlers we found over the years on a moosehead and added a wallmount to it.
The left antler was found 43 years ago by my dad in Sweden, the right one (obviously from a different moose) 5 years ago by our (at that time 5 year old) daughter - also in Sweden. 

The antlers are so well fitting together, i'm almost confident that the one my daughter found is from some offspring of the moose that dropped the one my father found:)

Scanned both using KIRI engine, and blended them together with a moosehead in Blender.

If you want to use the wallmount, glue the moosehead on the wallmount, and slide it over a fitting screw (≤8mm width). Its self-tightening as long as the screw doesn't stick out too much.

For printing instructions:
Either use the moosehead_no_support, resize it to desired dimensions and add support to your liking, or use the ‘moosehead_with_support’ (139x149x95mm), and print in place (i would not recommend resizing this one too much, because the supports will resize too, making them either too fragile or too well attached to the model)

Printing instructions for the ‘moosehead_with_support’:
I printed with PLA, settings:
- plate adhesion: brim (recommend this, there are floating antlers supported by treesupports, don't want them to fall over)
- layer height: 0,15mm
- wall: 0.80mm / walls 2
- infill: 10%
- print speed: 25mm/s

If you prefer the antler(s) seperately, you can get them here (nr 3 and nr 5 in the picture):

If you do decide to print this, i would love to see the result!
