I just asked the office that did the CT scan for a copy!

I used CT scan data to 3D print my skull and you can, too! ๐Ÿ’€

Itโ€™s a very strange feeling to be holding a 1:1 life-size replica of your own skull, but itโ€™s a cool point in history that weโ€™re able to do this! ๐Ÿง

Classic, happens to me all the time! Howโ€™d you catch the problem?

I've got more filament than I could print in a lifetime, so this should be great ๐Ÿคฃ

OK, I'm convinced! I've wanted to try this out for a while, and you made it look so easy!

I saw this! I read a summary but havenโ€™t done a deep dive yet. Is the idea to decouple motion instructions from sensor / other instructions?

Hanging out at the airport is usually when I clean up my 3D scans, but today I'm working on a slightly different kind of 3D scan ๐Ÿ‘€

'Hey, want to see what I'll look like in 100 years?' - my wife didn't think it was as clever as I did ๐Ÿคฃ

The original 2010 model had a few holes and some mesh issues, and I've wanted to clean it up and post it for a few years.

Print one yourself and test your 3D printer!

Want to try a ~45 minute test print for your 3D printer?

The 'Double Helix Challenge' was one of my favorite prints from the early Thingiverse era, and it's a great cooling test for your 3D printer.

Ugh, what a headache.

Thereโ€™s a drop box right near my house, but something like ~50% of the packages I would drop would never get scanned in.

I always assumed they were just getting lost, never occurred to me that someone would be stealing them!
