This is the cranium and mandible of a capybara (Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris) originally shared on Sketchfab by the Witmer Lab under CCA license.
My edits:
I cleaned out internal structures since the original model was from a CT scan. I filled holes and made some manual edits to smooth rough areas. The model was also tiny for some reason, so I scaled it up 10x to what seems to be a reasonable size for a capybara. Here is a video demonstrating my editing workflow.
Printing:
0.20 mm layers
3 walls, 8% grid infill
tree supports at 30
initial layer expansion: 7 mm (might not need this depending on your build plate adhesion)
top z distance = 0.2 mm
top interface layers = 2
top interface spacing = 0
branch diameter = 2 mm
As usual printing with a matte PLA makes support removal much easier. I used Sunlu matte PLA in bone white for my print. The bottom of the mandible will be a little rough with 0.20 mm layers but you can smooth it out. When I tried printing it vertically, it failed multiple times. I printed these on a Bambu A1 with a Biqu cool plate. The orange is from Makerworld.
