Excellent model, the missing magnet cup on the Right Parietal Bone does not make any notable difference in the strength. Printed on a Bambu P1P, 0.4mm nozzle using 0.16mm Optimal settings in Orca slicer. 10% gyroid infill with tree supports used ~500g of MH Build series PLA in Bone White. Total print time was ~ 22h with 21mm^3 max vol. flowrate. During assembly I found that the large magnet pockets could fit two 6x2mm magnets stacked, and the small could fit a 3x1.5mm magnet. If I did it again I'd order 6x4mm magnets for the larger pockets. All were sourced from Amazon, no issues with holding power.

Skull was made in eSUN PLA+ Bone White at 0.2mm layer height and 15% infill. I added my own glasses holders in the lime green. To answers the questions in my other comment: 1. YES. The magnets feel plenty strong for the headband and even for shaking the skull somewhat hard. I didn't print this solid, so it's still pretty light weight, but heavier prints would likely still hold as the recommended magnets at N52 are really strong. 2. Clearly yes as you can see in the image. The gap between the pterygoid plate and foramen magnum the stand goes through is plenty big.

Dave, im gonna need you to stop making stuff. I just went through EVERYTHING you have posted and I think im gonna end up breaking my printers.

If I use N52 magnets (from KJ), would this be strong enough to hold a headband around it?

I'm also thinking of printing a mount that can allow glasses to sit on this at night. It looks like I can design something through the base of the skull, just under the sphenoid, mounting with the lateral pterygoid plate and the back of the zygomatic arch. However, I can't tell if the stand this model has would allow that. Is there enough room for a small part to fit around the stand and pterygoid plates?

Finished printing this and the answer to both of these questions is yes.

The model calls for 38 bigger magnets! Don’t make the same mistake as me and order insufficient amount.

Any option if I dont have magnets? :(

has anyone paired this with the articulated spine? It seems that the default spine size is slightly undersized

Incredible model. I've been following you for years from thingiverse and this is still my favorite. Any update on the full body skeleton? Honestly I printed this skull in resin and it's just magnificent, my favorite piece. I would make a support stand for a full skeleton if it were available to print. Thanks again.

what are the measurement in CM? and I did not understand which one is the diameter and thickness, could you be more specific?

1/8 x 1 1/16 = 3.1mm x 17.5mm 1/8 x 1/4 = 3.1mm x 6.35mm

I'm really struggling to get the Ethmoid to come out usable. Can anyone share any advice on orientation+print settings that worked for them

Thanks for the incredible model. So much detail.

I've noticed that on the STL files I have, the magnetic anchor point on the front part of the right parietal bone is missing. The picture in the make shows it as it printed, and I have a picture of the model is prusa-slicer as well.

Thanks! Just printed it with a resin printer. Incredible results!!!

Do you have a rough idea on how much filament you used when printing this? I'm thinking a spool ought to be enough, but support material could change this for me.

I used a little less than a spool in total, but I had several pieces that I had to print twice, because I got the supports wrong or the print failed.

lo imprimiste todo con impresora de filamento?

Hello. Do you have affiliate links to those magnets?
