My 3D print model is based on an artificial cast of a Homo floresiensis cranium (LB-1), nicknamed the Hobbit, courtesy of Cornell University in Ithaca, New York. Model by Hannah Teush.

I've taken Hannah's published model and converted it to a 3D printable file.

From the paper describing this skull, LB-1 (https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.0710041105#supplementary-materials) it lists the width of the skull (XCB) as 133 mm. You can find measurement definitions here: docs.coracore.org/en/latest/forensics-an...

Remains of one of the most recently discovered early human species, Homo floresiensis (nicknamed ‘Hobbit’), have so far only been found on the Island of Flores, Indonesia. The fossils of H. floresiensis date to between about 100,000 and 60,000 years ago, and stone tools made by this species date to between about 190,000 and 50,000 years old. H. floresiensis individuals stood approximately 3 feet 6 inches tall, had tiny brains, large teeth for their small size, shrugged-forward shoulders, no chins, receding foreheads, and relatively large feet due to their short legs. Despite their small body and brain size, H. floresiensis made and used stone tools, hunted small elephants and large rodents, coped with predators such as giant Komodo dragons, and may have used fire.

My print is made in 1.75mm eSUN PLA+ Bone White filament, with 0.2mm layer height and 15% infill on a Bambu Lab X1 Carbon printer. Print supports are required.

I hope that you can find this print useful, too.

Remember to leave me some feedback or even a tip to keep me enthused to make more of these drawings.
