NOVA STUDIOSDinosaur skeleton STL files
Skeletons and skulls I sculpt from the published descriptions and photographs of the fossils, split into sections that print cleanly at home. STL and OBJ, for resin and FDM, with a personal, non-commercial licence.
Files made for home printers
What you get with every model, and what you decide yourself.
The files print on resin and FDM machines. Scale them to the build plate you have.
Where supports go depends on your printer, your resin and your orientation, so I leave that to you.
Skull, neck, rib cage, hips, legs and tail come as sections that fit together.
Some models mount on a 4 mm or 2.5 mm rod. The product page tells you which.
Most files are made for desk size. Some fine anatomy on those is simplified so the parts stay printable.
You agree to the non-commercial licence at checkout. Selling prints is not allowed.

Printing questions
The questions I get most from people with a printer.
Can I print these files on an FDM printer?
Yes. The files work on resin and FDM printers. Resin gives the finest detail on teeth and claws, FDM is fine for bigger skeletons and skulls.
Why don't the files come with supports?
Support placement depends on your printer, your material and how you orient each part, so you add your own in your slicer.
What size do the models print at?
Most files are designed for desk size. Some, like the Zavacephale and Pachycephalosaurus skulls or the Berthasaura and Jeholosaurus skeletons, are life size. The size is on every product page and you can scale the files.
How are the skeletons split?
Into sections that fit together: skull, neck, rib cage, hips, legs and tail. Bigger models have the rib cage in more than one part. Some mount on a 4 mm or 2.5 mm steel or brass rod.
Can I sell prints of the models?
No. Every file comes with a personal, non-commercial licence, which you agree to at checkout. Prints are for your own shelf, classroom or display.
How do I get the files after buying?
After your order you get a download link to the files, as STL and OBJ.
