3D model description

A full-size skeleton model of Archaeopteryx.

Reconstructed mainly after Wellnhofer's "Archaeopteryx" monography (2008) with skull details from Rauhut (2013). Scaled approximately to the size of the Solnhofen specimen (the largest one).

The final size of the mounted skeleton as shown is approximately 45 cm x 19 cm x 33 cm.

The model is very delicate and it is recommend to print it on a resin printer with a resolution of at least 50 Β΅m.

Additionally, a wooden base, 1.5mm iron rod and 1mm and 3mm steel tubes are required for assembly and mounting.

The files are under copyright and it is forbidden to use them commercially.

3D printing settings

My print on an Anycubic Photon Mono X:

Anycubic ABS-like resin (white),

50 Β΅m z steps,

2.0 s normal exposure,

40 s bottom layer exposure,

80% UV strength.

All objects except the tail tip are oriented as I printed them. The tail tip was turned such that the chevrons face towards the build plate at an angle of 45Β° (not upwards). Also, all parts were rotated around the z- (up-) axis to make the aliasing less obvious. The remaining print lines were sanded away later.

To keep the ribs/gastralia aligned for the best result, I recommend using painter's tape right after cleaning the parts to fix their shape while the resin is still flexible. I hardened it only after final mounting with the UV lamp while the tape was still applied.

I used an airbrush with bone-colored acrylics and very light layers to keep a bit of translucency. The wood block for the base is 145 mm x 200 mm x 27 mm and was covered with mahogany covered oil.
