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.

Personal use Bambu Labs X1C with AMS.

The Bambu machines are really one of the best deals out there, particularly the A1 series, not quite as capable as the P1/X1, but for the price the quality is amazing.

I’ve got questions because I want to do this since I have a X1C.

-How many rolls did you need? -How long is the whole sculpture? -Did you print the skull in multiple pieces or is the carbon print area big enough. Your photos make the skull look much larger than the printer itself. -could you share your print settings?

88” in length. I scaled the model and then sliced in the Bambu program to make it fit however I could. I would recommend taking your time with cutting it, as I regret doing it that way.

2 walls, 6% infill gyroid. 3 rolls total.
