Human Skull

A skull as a single-mesh 3D model — the domed cranium, the two orbits, the nasal cavity, and the upper and lower teeth in the maxilla and mandible. Supplied as one editable .blend: view it in 3D on the page, or slice it straight to G-code.

What it is

A skull, showing the landmarks that define one: the domed cranium, the two orbits, the nasal aperture, and the teeth in the maxilla and the mandible. One single mesh, so it prints and slices cleanly.

The model in 3D

A single mesh of about 150,000 triangles, standing upright.

Print it

Print in white to match bone. White ABS sands well and can be acetone-vapour-smoothed to a bone-like finish, but it needs a heated bed and an enclosure — white PLA is easier without one. Scale to about 150 mm tall, 0.2 mm layers, 15 percent infill, supports under the orbits and the thin facial bone.
