Description

Dimensions (LxWxH)

110 x 65 x 19 mm (100% scale)

Basic information

Trilobites have been extinct for quite a while now, so you most likely won't get the chance to hold one in your hand any time soon. But here's a great alternative for all prehistoric connoisseurs! 

Files information

I've included 3 files in the .stl format. One singlecolor .stl, as well as 2 split sections for multicolor printing.

Material

 PLA

Layer height

 0,2 mm

Infill

>15%

Support

The model was designed not to require any support material.

Scaling

A well tuned setup should be able to print the model reliably at up to 50% scale, I wouldn't recommend going below that. If you're printing a down-scaled version, you need to make sure, that the first layer adhesion is sufficient, as the contact area isn't exactly big, which might cause issues. 

Orientation

Default, laid flat on the belly

Adhesion aid

If your print surface suffers from poor adhesion, consider using some kind of adhesion booster, such as adhesive spray or glue. The contact area is fairly small, and the print might detach otherwise.  

In this section, you can find a list of all updates and fixes, which were introduced to the model along the way. Each update will be explained thoroughly, so that you know, which issue was every specific update addressing. If you're having any problems with the model, you can check here, if a new, revised version of the model, has already been released in a response to your problem, or not. 

If you run into any issues with the model, please visit the section of known issues, which can be found just below Updates and fixes. If you won't find your specific problem there, don't hesitate to contact me via dm.
