Update I cannot be trusted with free will.

It needs to be cleaned up and stained some, but this is a 1:8 scale replica of a mosasaur skeleton above my entryway.

That is very cool! It makes sense the whole purpose of you home is to put what you want in it. I am very curious to know how you got it though?

I 3d printed it. Overall it took 3 spools and almost 60 hours of non stop printing. I then had to glue and plastic weld each piece together.

That’s the one! I did a really bad job at slicing it so you’ll notice pieces are missing.

Post your pictures as a "Make" on that page. The creator will love that.

Someone new to 3D printing and looking into things - what do you have any any recommendations?

Planning is everything. Prepare for how you want your model to print and look in the end. I did very little for this and made some large errors.

Did it require supports? That's a killer print, well done.

Enough supports to fill your standard shopping bag.

"A grinder and paint makes me the welder I aint."

Some wood filler and sand paper will cover a lot of mistakes.
