Received my Ceratosaurus skull 3D prints

Also got started on my new PC build. It's a fairlymodest spec, a 6 core AMD Ryzen 5 APU with 16Gb Ram.
The old mechanical hard drive is temporary, got an M2 drive coming this weekend but I want to test this now.

It should mean I can finally move on from Blender 2.79 and onto the newer versions. Might add a proper GPU later.
The case was donated by a friend. I had to replace my previous desk and my old Antec 300 case is too tall for the new one. Might keep the case if the cooling is adequate.

The results are spectacular! I think it is a big advantage to print fossilised bone models. Any visible print step can be disguised as part of the design.

That looks great and verry real. You are doing such a great job on all your designs.
:bowdown:
Thanks.

Thanks, these cheaper SLS and MJF prints from Shapeways are more grainy and the print lines are minimal. More expensive resin prints should be more detailed but might show more prominent lines though I haven't tried this yet. As it is I think it helps to show potential buyers that the cheaper processes produce decent results.

Few more photos, I'd better get painting this week.

Just a quick question, you're pulling the cube into shapes with "Control Points'? I saw the video, but a lot is left out. I am in awe of your work, and that you 3D print is Nylon is excellent.


I just finished a Ryzen 9 5800 series, water cooled, MSI MoBo, with around 5 Terabytes of storage. It's water cool, big radiator, never get hot. I have an M2 SSD, incredibly fast, but you can't defrag them, as it puts a great strain on them, so they don't end up being as fast as they were when they were new. I think these SSD hard drives have a definite short life. I only run programs on them and back up everything to the optical drives, I get about 5 years out of them. I also installed an "M" drive, which is considered "Archival" meaning they should last at least 1000 years. The discs were expensive though, but the smaller ones hold 25 Gigs of data. The larger capacity discs can hold 100 Gigs. The prices have come down substantially. They can be read by Blu-Ray, but need a "M" disc writer to write to them. It is write only. They can still suffer everything a regular CD can, but they will not delaminate, so if they are stored securely, much data can be stored away safely. :)
