3D model description

Most saber-tooth skulls around are of the Smilodon so I saw the need to make this less common Machairodus cat.
The jaw print as a whole and the cranium is 2-part designed to fit the bed of an ender3 S1 (22x22cm) already scaled to life-size, the jaw is free from the head and doesn't include a support.

Sept 2023 update: I found better references and changed proportions to a more slender look, specially the jaw, I'm now confident to call this one specifically M. horribilis

3D printing settings

Minimum support necessary, in cura I use a support blocker for most of the model and use straight supports only at the bottom, see the last photo for reference. The cranium parts need to be placed diagonally to fit the 22x22 bed.
