Articulated Trilobite

Dimensions (LxWxH)

110 x 64,32 x 20,18 mm (100% scale)

Basic information

Trilobites have been extinct for quite a while now, so you most likely won't get the chance to hold one in your hand any time soon. Until someone brings them back to life, here's a good alternative!

Files information

I've included 1 file in the .stl format.

This design is a part of the Articulated Sea Life collection by me. You can check out other designs from this collection here.

The Articulated Sea Life collection is a live project, and I'm continuously adding new designs, anytime I get an interesting idea, or a suggestion. The designs are also updated, if any changes or tweaks have to be made. Feedback, suggestions and ideas are welcome!

Material

 PLA

Layer height

 0,2 mm

Infill

>15%

Support

The model was designed not to require any support material.

Scaling

A well tuned setup should be able to print the model reliably at up to 50% scale, I wouldn't recommend going below that. If you're printing a downscaled version, you need to make sure, that the first layer adhesion is sufficient, as the contact area isn't exactly big, and it might cause issues. 

Orientation

Default, laid flat on the belly

Adhesion aid

If your printer suffers from poor buildplate adhesion, consider using some kind of adhesion booster, such as adhesive spray or glue. The contact area is fairly small, and the print might detach otherwise.  

In this section, you can find a list of all updates and fixes, which were introduced to the model along the way. Each update will be explained thoroughly, so that you know, which issue was every specific update adressing. If you're having any problems with the model, you can check here, if a new, revised version of the model, has already been released in a response to your problem, or not. 

If you run into any issues with the model, please visit the section of known issues, which can be found just below Updates and fixes. If you won't find your specific problem there, don't hesitate to contact me via dm.
