Wolf Mask Salish Style

thingiverse

This mask is made in the the style of the NorthWest natives of the North American Continent, including and especially the Tlinget, Inuit, Salish, Kwakwaka'waka, Nuxsalk. I looked at lots of Totem poles and carvings for inspiration and this is the design I finally developed from my sketches. Special thanks to all the tribes involved, and any others I may have forgotten to mention. If you have a small printer bed, scale down and make it a decorative ornament instead of a mask. When I made the large version, I learned a few things. It got stuffy inside, so I drilled holes for the air to pass thru. I added straps to the back so it sits like a headlamp with the T-shaped intersection of straps in the back held by a buckle. The tongue is a piece of craft fabric that hangs thru the mouth, and can be retracted. [UPDATE, October 15, 2018] FACE MASK UPDATED! Use file number 048. Now ready for straps, and eye pieces sealed. If you have a 30x30x30 printer bed, you can just barely fit it on. It should be just large enough for an average adult head, with a little extra room to add padding. DO NOT use Simplify 3D. It will mess up the booleans. Use repetier host or Cura if possible.
