The file '35 Year Old’s Brain 3D Printer Model' is (stl) file type, size is 14.2MB.
This is from an MRI of my brain. The MRI was taken as part of a neuroscience project, so it's healthy, and I have no problems releasing it.
To create the STL, I imported the DICOM files into the open source scientific visualization package Paraview, and then created an isosurface from it. There are some scanning artifacts that I was not completely able to remove (at the very top)
This is my first "thing" My goal is to make a keychain out of it, so I'm trying to get a print that is ~1" in the maximal direction. Currently, I have access to an Ultimaker, and am printing out an overlarge version, just to get the hang of it. My first attempt was rubbish; now I'm trying with a raft and scaffolding. Any tips would be most welcome.
Ideally, I'd eventually like to cast this in bronze or aluminum (after adding a keychain loop), so any Lost PLA tips would be handy too!
