Floating, spilling skull

This is remixed from "Skull Bowl Remix..." by ranibizumab and "Floating Cup (smoother look......" by me, and "Floating Cup Sculpture" by HappyMoon. It came about because I made another remix ("Floating Goblet", https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3761400) and tried a print of that using red filament to try to look like wine. It instead looked like blood, which didn't have the wanted effect for that but did look like it could make a creepy Halloween decoration!

For print instructions, look at the ones for "Floating Goblet" https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3761400. The infill of the skull and stream need to be low (about 5%) and the splash and the pins should be high (about 75%) so that the model stands upright on its own. Print in the orientations of the STL files.

The stream part has been adjusted to fit well within the skull cavity. The skull itself is a copy of the "Skull Bowl Remix..", the only change being in scaled size. The skull must be printed with supports (which worked pretty well, though it's a complicated model and takes a while to print). The stream and splash parts are scaled to 80% of the size of the "Floating Cup" from which they were derived. Scale all parts equally as you need (but they would have to be scaled much more for the skull to ever approach a human skull size!).
