Giant T-rex head, split for printing

Description

I'm friends with the people down at the corner pizza joint, and they used to have a paper banner advertising their carnivore challenge: Eat an entire 16" carnivore pizza by yourself and get a free tee-shirt, and the pizza is free. I printed a little t-rex head from UWCharlie1983's model as a gift for the manager, and she went so nuts over it that i decided to see if i could make a big one. This was broken into pieces and put together on a first-gen ender3 with an ender extender400XL kit, and a crtouch ABL setup. I broke it into pieces using tinkercad, and printed the pieces and superglued it. Even with an 0.8 nozzle @ 50mm/sec, each piece took anywhere from 12-25 hours to print. All in PLA and PLA+ from microcenter. The pieces were then superglued together, and rubberbanded to maintain pressure. The head was then gifted to the manager, and she tracked down a professional artist to do a KILLER paintjob. Thanks again for the original model, UWCharlie1983!
