Human Skull (front halve)

This is the front part of the Skull of an around thirty year old man.
FOSS - Slicer http://www.slicer.org/
was used to convert the CT data into an rudimentary*.stl of 523MB size.
This tutorial video helped a lot: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=og3t1i9gSG0

Then Meshlab:

• check on holes
• removal of unconnected parts
• smoothing and downsampling to 130MB

It might be printable as it is with an SLS-Nylon printer but the natural stucture is rather fine (thinn walls) in relation to the models size. Thus for an FDM Printer I guess further modification will be necessary. Either unrealistic simplification for a smaller print, or scale-up and splitup into multiple parts.

Some trivia

I am pretty sure back when I published this on thingiverse (before printables existed even with other name) this was the very first high res Skull scan data there. 

Instructions

Be creative.
