*Update. Watermarked the Skull photos to annoy lazy Etsy scammers.

*Update. Added the stand and support rod from the original file I remixed.

 

Adjusted the mesh to replace the clipped portions of the original. This is most evident on the jaw with some minor reshaping to the back of the skull.

Will require supports and or rafts to print but will give a more realistic overall skull appearance in my opinion. Optionally you can drop the model below the build surface to clip as much or as little of the lower model as you'd like.

Play around with supports and blockers to optimize the print as you see fit. The photos shows my settings for the prints photographed. With the base supported the rest of the print can be support free and printed the same as the original.

Sculpted with Meshmixer and used this scan as my visual reference to eyeball the shape back into the jawline and back of the skull. Its not meant to be perfect, just a little more "natural" to look at.
