I love how you weathered it!

I love this one! The quality and the paint makes it look so real!!

I wonder if anyone has ever tried 3D printing a whole lifesize T.rex skull. That would be something else. Great video by the way, love the model.

Now a life sized one

the dirt technique definitely makes the piece stand out. Great work

That looks fantastic. I love the straightforward way in which you aged the bones. Nothing like good, authentic dirt when you need something to look old and dirty.

I've found that the best way to achieve an accurate weathering effect on white plastic is to use real mud then use a clear coat to seal it and rough it up with some coarse grit sandpaper. Great videos and your Ender 3 Review really influenced my decision to make it my first 3D Printer!

wow this was dope,, especially how you found a process to age the bones to make it look like its right from the dig site

You are setting the bar very high for 3D printing videos now with such excellent work as this. Just amazing. thank you!

Now go burry the bones in your elementary school playground and watch the local news explode!

All killer, no filler... maybe your best project. You set the bar high

I have a 3D printed T-Rex Skull waiting to be painted. This is EXACTLY what I needed.

Awesome build. The aging effect worked out great.

Fantastic gob once again Simon, that really turned out amazing! Can't wait to see what else you've got in store! 👍👍

Lol he called the brush a pencil! Just thought it was funny! Great video, absolutely awesome!

Great job on the weathering!

I am actually printing the skull right now on my Maker select Plus so these tips are perfect. Yours is my favorite 3D printing KZfaq channel!

I just finished the t-Rex model, original size. I started the stegosaurus.. I think I’ll dirty up my models too. That looks great. Wish I had room to scale them up too.

WOW after I have seen alot of your videos I want to start 3D printing and drive my RC rustler again.

Joel needs to print this in life size xD 3d printing nerd we need a hero

Looks great! Hanging like you have it will turn some heads as visitors walk in. This could have be a great sponsor video for Jurassic World.

I always wanted to print my own skeletons with glow in the dark filament but since it costs too much , I started collecting miniature versions of them from around the world from smugglers or small toy stores . These things look really fancy in the display case .

Very nice! Besides the pronation of the hands, really cool looking.

While I find all your videos great, inspiring and educational, this project is definitely on my list as a top favorite.

That’s so roarsome, it’s on my list to make.👍

Awesome print. ..100 hours. impressive. Like the way it turned out. Bury those failed prints somewhere! I'm sure you could find a museum that would like that thing. Or create your own museum.

Man, I love how people like us spend lots of money on 3d printers and expensive gear so we can build stuff like this. So productive.

That has got to be the best-looking print ive ever seen in my life!

Okay, now that's cool. Another project that would be fun to try.

Incredible. This goes in the top prints.

I'm currently about 40% through printing this, so far so good ! I am finding that a lot of the parts need supports though, which is making the print a lot long. I'm doing mine at 210% - Thanks for the great video!

that weathering technique turned out amazing! Especially considering the comparatively low effort involved! Effective af

Pretty Much everything Simon Makes turns out amazing!!!!

That reveal was straight otta Jurrasic park

T-rex would be proud of you! 😁👍🏼

This is actually so cool

Cool, great job. There may be a faster way to weather light colored PLA: buy some Potassium permanganate crystals (not a lot, 3 grams will be more than enough for couple of skeletons ), dissolve some in a bucket and put PLA parts in it. In 12 hours - couple of days depending on concentration they will be brown with natural shading, like something from the bog. Rinse, dry and mount. Keep longer for blacker finish. Theoretically it is possible to get them almost black but never tried it. With bucket large enough you can do the whole skeleton in one go. The only drawback of the method is necessity to keep surface grease-free: any glue patch of greasy fingerprint will show as light patch. And remember to check the parts and steer the solution to keep it uniform. Also depending on printing settings and PLA brand it may highlight steps and gaps between layers, so try it on one printed part first. May also work on resin casts. Definitely works great on bone, leather and horn, cause it the same process which colors them in bogs, only greatly accelerated

Great job!!! I've been on the fence about committing to printing an upscaled version of this. You have sold me!! Thanks for the video!

You did a wonderful job with this and 100 hours is crazy and not something I would attempt with the power here.

Great video, and well printed t-Rex

Pat on the back, good job

That's awesome. Amazing work. Now a full size T8000 😎

Wow great job man. Lotta creativity there.

4:03 is awesome

Impressive. I deeply regret not weathering my T-rex more and more now.

Imagine 30 years from now you could have a velociraptor robot as a pet

That Looks f*****g Real!

This is WHOA dude what a awesome work!

you are quite an artist

Spectacular print and finish!

Dude, you stepped up your painting/weathering skills on this one. This build looks great!!!!

Time to get printing one of those! Awesome video

Gosh it looks so realistic

Wow ! Really impressive !

The Piltdown Lizard. She's a beauty.

Looks absolutely fantastic!

Can't wait to see what organic matter grows on it from the garden dirt. It'd add to the look.

That looks seriously realistic! Good job!

SHIIITTT that print looks amazing!

Great model, well done

just the skull from that printed like 2 times or 3 times bigger would be so cool

Great project! I see that Chiron in the corner, can't wait to hear about it!

It is looking so real

The only thing that would make this even more awesome, would be if it were full size.

i'm french and i love your video!!!!!!

You have done it again Simon, awesome man

one of your best videos and most fantastic projects

Just got a printer and my first big project will be the T-Rex. Thanks for sharing your experience and thoughts.. all the best!!

Great video, your filming just keeps getting better.

Awesome!! Thanks for your videos

Hey! Your hard work certainly shows with this cool project. Very nice. Thx.

damn thank you for sharing the 3d file too, really love it, more dinosaur please

The best print i ve never seen 😍

What an awesome T- Rex 👍👍

Nice job Simon. Love your work and presentation!!!

thats really nice i have he same one hanging from my ceiling two weeks worth of printing and it took four rolls

Woow men it look so real!!

Oh maaaan! Awesome! I love your work and how you spending your time! Was good to have a neighbor like you to do things together! :)

AMAZING!!!

Liked the intro..!!

You are so talented!

You did really Great job. Love from INDIA

Whoa! Great editing and awesome skeleton

That is soooooo awesome!!!

Damn you. Now I have to re print this from 100 percent scale to what you did ;)

Det se väldig bra ut. Absolut perfekt jobbat , hälsning Andreas

I found your channel while hunting for ways to color 3D printed bones. Coincidentally I just finished printing my own T-Rex using the same model you used. I scaled mine 170% which was the largest I could do on the Makerbot Replicator 2. I had to stop one print early to cut the assembly pin short. I figured on using Super Glue. Great video! Liked and subscribed.

That is so frigging awesome. Nice job on the finish. Wonder if the misses wants one in the house 🤔🤔🤔😆😆😆

Amazing!!! I can't imagine how hard is to get this result. Congrats! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

What a great build 👍

You are more than awesome my brother..... You are my role model.....😇

Wow 👌 that's an awesome print and nice job 😎

Excellent Hard Work

THANK YOU FOR MAKING MY DREAMS COME TRUE!

As always your video was fantastic and I keep wondering how you are able to keep outdoing yourself, its so cool to watch someone with such talent. Keep up the GREAT work.

What a awesome project. That is very groovy indeed! 1.75mm groovy. Ok, next is to make one that has hollowed out key pivot locations to install the hydraulics. Steppers and servos are too loud and mechanical sounding in motion. Yes, make a dino version of what Boston Dynamics does with its mobilized robo dog structures! It's a decorative addon for the treadmill at least, that can mow the yard, play drums or bass etc. Cool band idea to sell lots of concert tickets ETA: 7 weeks. Go!

Insane man.. Well done

Hi, this is Chris in Bulgaria, it looks GREAT!, What an idea to use mud, i will do it on my Trex. Oh, mine is 3.5 metres long and all done on one printer, my CR10S. Not for the faint hearted, many problems, and at this size I could see where there could be some improvements in the model. Long live PLA

I would just drybrush the thing brown, so much more consistent and faster and not messy lmao
