@Enzi1984 Hi Christian and thank you! Great work on the STL file of the Terror Bird for Thingiverse. You can publish more of the scans on Thingiverse, as we do not plan to be active on there in the near future. It would be great if you could comment the link to your Thingiverse files underneath the respective 3D models as you did here so we can see them! As we also 3D print ourselves we would be happy to see final 3D prints, so let us know if you should print something 😃

Great work you are doing as a team here! I have published the Terror Bird on my Thingiverse account as an STL file, for the 3D printing community (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4835528). I would publish some more of your scans on Thingiverse, or do you want to be active there yourself?
