About this model

You can print your own scale replica of a real Triceratops animal skull! This is a printable adaptation of the Smithsonian Institution's 3D scan of Triceratops Horridus (USNM PAL500000). The only tweaks I made were removing the skull from the body, preparing the mesh, and adding just a little material so the broken (left) horn can be printed in one piece. I have provided 1/12, 1/16, and 1/24 scale profiles, but you can easily print at any size by using the Scale tool in your favorite slicer.
