3D Model Cleanup

A 3D model of a scanned horny toad with a scanned skeleton inside it was downloaded from a public repository. The skeleton was the target but it was clearly not designed for 3D printing. The skeleton first had to be extracted then the bones had to be thickened slightly to make them 3D printable.
The model was then oriented to make it more printable and use less support material reducing the overall cost.
 The final result was printed successfully and sturdy enough for display.
