Scutosaurus Prehistoric Herbivore 3D print model

In the vast Permian wilderness, long before the age of dinosaurs, a lone Scutosaurus marched through arid lowlands. Armored with thick scales and bony plates, it was a gentle yet resilient herbivore, prepared for survival in a harsh world teeming with predators.

This 3D model depicts a realistic and texturable version of Scutosaurus, an extinct genus of parareptile known for its stocky build and defensive body armor. The sculpture captures anatomical accuracy with intricate skin textures, ridged scales, and lifelike proportions, ideal for collectors of prehistoric fauna, museum-quality dioramas, or educational displays.

Please note that the model is primarily designed for textured versions (OBJ + MTL in ZIP archive), allowing for a rich and visually detailed result when used with color-supported 3D printing or digital rendering. The non-textured version (STL, 3MF) may lack some surface details visible in the textured formats.

1. Technical Features and Printing Recommendations:

Recommended print resolution: 0.1 mm for optimal surface detail

Supports required: Yes, especially under belly, limbs, and tail curves

Recommended size for display: 150 mm in length

Ideal materials: PLA, PETG for standard prints; resin for high-detail miniatures

Estimated print time: ~6–10 hours depending on scale

Estimated material usage: ~45–60g at standard size

Assembly: Single-part print

Stability: The model is well-balanced and prints flatly, requiring no separate base.

Scaling Note: This model is designed in millimeters (mm). If it appears too small when imported into your slicer, ensure your software is set to mm units. If needed, scale the model up 100x if the slicer defaults to meters instead.
