Hi Everyone!
Introducing my new Triceratops design! I've loved dinosaurs since I was a little kid. Like many kids, the Triceratops was my absolute favorite. It was really fun to make, and I'm excited to share it!
I wanted this fella to be able to hold various head poses, so I designed an updated snap-fit joint that has a snug and poseable fit. Check out a quick Demo Video Here!
I hope you like it!
Matt

3D PRINTING SETTINGS:
Head: Snap-Fit to Body. Pre-Supported for easy printing. No additional support needed.
Body: Print-In-Place. No additional support needed.
Multicolor 3MF: includes multicolor 3MF file that is compatible with both PrusaSlicer and Bambu Studio
Misc: Test Fit objects (Ball and Socket): These are trimmed down versions of the head snap fit joint. Due to tolerance variation in printers, there is a chance that the fit could be too tight or too loose. You can print these test files to either dial in your printer settings, or make fine scale adjustments of the head scale in order to find the fit that works best for you. Note, tight joints will loosen somewhat as they wear-in.
5%-15% Infill.
3 Walls.
This should generally scale down to about 65% with full articulation, on a well calibrated printer. YMMV

2024-04-01 00:08:23 +0000 UTCYup, life just got me a little behind on them. The platypus and triceratops magnets are coming very soon!
MatMire_Makes
2024-04-01 00:07:28 +0000 UTCJust out of curiosity do you make all of your models into magnet heads or do you just pick and choose cause we haven’t gotten any magnets for a while and I was just wondering? Thanks! ☺️💜

2024-03-31 15:17:44 +0000 UTCOh yea just printed this came out awesome as always and even better on my new bambu printer. I hope more dinosaurs are in the works I would love to see t-rex and a raptor !!!!!!!

2024-03-25 22:50:17 +0000 UTCThis model is the BEST! This is a great opportunity to make a Zombie Triceratops and also Mini ones!

2024-03-25 18:04:24 +0000 UTCYou will likely get better results with PLA, nearly all these flexi animals work best in PLA, Save the Petg for higher temperature applications.

2024-03-25 14:32:55 +0000 UTCBrims can be great! I often suggest using a larger brim gap than the default. That will still help with adhesion, but also make them easier to remove. I would try something like a 0.3mm gap and see how it works!
MatMire_Makes
2024-03-24 23:05:05 +0000 UTCIs it better to print these in pla or petg? I’m just starting and don’t know what to buy.
Austin Campbell
2024-03-24 22:36:34 +0000 UTCHi! No I didnt realize I could use a brim with articulated ones. I will try it again once my printers are free again. I have a ender 3 pro that is not my friend and an Elegoo Neptune 3pro that is lol which is the printer I was making this one on. Until I get a Bambu one its the best Ive got ;)

2024-03-24 04:35:52 +0000 UTCA Raptor with a jaw that opens like the rattle snake would be cool!

2024-03-24 03:23:03 +0000 UTCSo cute!!! I'm happy to see the dinos are showing up!! A brachiosaurus or brontosaurus would be super cute! There are so many dinos that would be amazing as a MatMire masterpieces 😁

2024-03-22 23:55:06 +0000 UTCOh wow!! That's amazing!
MatMire_Makes
2024-03-22 23:46:41 +0000 UTCI volunteer at a natural science museum where we have the world’s largest triceratops. I got into 3D printing to recreate the missing pieces. So this file will be popular there for sure!!

2024-03-22 23:41:22 +0000 UTCSo Gorgeous!
Antonia Hernandez (Sheena)
2024-03-22 23:01:08 +0000 UTCI'm not really planning to. The model really needs to be designed for the joint. I'm also not expecting all future models to use this joint either. It's just another tool in the arsenal, that I'll use when it's the best choice for the design. :)
MatMire_Makes
2024-03-22 22:57:05 +0000 UTCAbsolutely love it! Will you be updating old models with the new head fit? Just curious!
Hannah Galloway
2024-03-22 22:53:19 +0000 UTCCan’t wait to print this!! My nephew is currently obsessed with triceratops so this is perfect!! Another amazing model, keep up the great work
