I made these Dinos from plans that I found around the internet. I cleaned up and modified the files to cut on 1/8 plywood. I’ve included the SVG and DXF files for all of the Dinos.
I Made the tolerances for a tight fit. I found a nice hammer to tap the pieces in place here http://cartonus.com/hammer/
You shouldn’t need any glue. If there any loose fits, I found this glue works great. It is very thin and sets within seconds. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002FORR2I/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1 ?

Thanks for sharing! And good find on the hammer…I’m going to make one of these.
Very cool! They look amazing. Thanks for the files!
Thank you for the files. Your models look great. I am still learning how to clean up files to use on the GlowForge.
Well done. It looks like when the grandkids come over, Batman will be visiting Jurassic Park.
Dinos are so much fun!

How can it be an ‘Anatomically Correct’ dinosaur if I can’t tell if it’s a boy dinosaur or a girl dinosaur?

No, that’s how you tell Saurischian dinosaurs from Ornithischian dinosaurs.

Don’t let the fact that it’s illustratedfool you, this is a pretty deep dive. The author studied as a paleontologist before getting into comics.

how do you change it to work with 1/4 plywood?
To work with 1/4 plywood, scale up the pattern. Then cut a couple of smaller pieces and check the fit.
You could also measure the thickness of the plywood, then scale the pattern so the slots match the measurement.
Thanks

I made the cutout of the last image and nothing would connect. I believe the connection cuts needed to be wider.
