There aren't enough models of these amazing aquatic creatures on the internet, so i made one. If you don't know what triops are, please look it up. Maybe even get some eggs and hatch them
yourself(yeah, that's right, triops can stay as dry eggs for years!)
They're easy to keep as pets, and lay more eggs that you can dry, and hatch even more!
Made in association with Triops Italia.
you're free to use it for anything non-commercial, i'd be honored if someone wanted to use this educationally.
The 3D version has some added support, and thicker antennae to make it slightly more printable.
i've also split it up to make it even, even more printable! it still needs "touching build plate" supports though.
tecnical specifications
polycount is about 800.000
designed with Pixologic Sculptris(first time i've used this software)
i would guess it took about 20 hours to make the model
