Description
For those who don't have their own 3D-printers, I've also put this model on Shapeways:
https://www.shapeways.com/shops/towerdweller Because this is a soopuh fun one. :D
Canis lupus Canine 3D-scan-composite pendant------meaning that I personally pieced this together from fragments of models produced by 3D-scanning real skeletal remains from a natural-history museum. (3D-scans which I cannot take credit for.) The lower part is from a real wolf, and IS to-scale, but the root of the tooth (where it would reside below the gum-line) is from a coyote, which was the closest available approximation that I could find, and scaled up to compare proportionally with the wolf-skull.
Learn about canine dental hygiene! Your personal home pupper will thank you!!

I printed several of these on my home 3D-printer in "ZIRO" brand PLA plain-white phosphorescent-blue, and with several layers of clear nail polish or clear brush-on wood lacquer; THAT is what is pictured. The semitransparent off-white color of the filament in daylight is perfect for model-skeleton replicas; I freaking love it. That is------until one turns the lights out or walks through a dark space while wearing this tooth as a pendant, and it starts phosphorescing (glowing) bright, 'magical' cerulean.
As an ultra dog lover and one who actually respects their mortal remains, as cool as teeth jewelry is, I personally much PREFER plastic replicas to anything real/"authentic".
Besides, real/"authentic" can't glow blue. And, as a dork nerd, that fun quality is ridiculously satisfying.
