The 3-D printed moose skull was well made and secure. But there were two things that I was a little disappointed about. The skull that I received was not the same as the ones shown in the first two photos. The ones in the advertised photos have more details on them. Also, the first two photos show the skull is mounted flat against the wall (which is what I wanted); however, the hanging bracket that was sent did not mount it flat against the wall at all. Instead, it comes out at an angle and the nose of the skull comes about 10-11 inches away from the wall (see photo). So, the bottom line is that it is good and the mounting bracket is secure and well-designed -- but it is not as advertised in the photos- so that was a little disappointing. Actually, the 3rd photo in the listing that shows just the skull is accurate. It would have also been nice to have other options in the color of the skull instead of just bright white (such as the light grey - bone color), so it would not look so much like plastic. Other comments........ The antler mounting process was good and straightforward, and I thought that the written directions and the video were also very good as well.
(It should be noted that there was a slight discrepancy in the video and in the written directions. For Step #3, the video said 1.5 inches deep, but the written directions said 2.25 inches-- but it was pretty obvious which one was right (2.25 inches). Otherwise, I thought the directions were very good.)
It would be cool if they could design the mounting bracket somehow that would mount the skull flush to the wall- like is shown in the first two photos. That way it would not stick out from the as much- depending on your personal preference.
As noted above there could be some improvements, but overall I think it is a good product and stable mounting system. I especially like the flexibility it gave to adjust the position of the antlers in the sockets—very easy to do. And I finally have been able to display the antlers that I have had sitting around for the past 22 years! It was a fun little project!! Thanks! :)
