That's amazing! You should've scaled it to 110% and then shown it to your family xD

Love the idea, I always thought of doing the same with my skull since I worked with MRI files and could probably export the file. However I never did an MRI of my head.

Would be fun to print the brain of a friend, and compare folds 🧠🧠

They should let you have the files. You paid... dearly for them.

Wow. It's insane seeing the "you" next to you.

Oh dude that's awesome!
I work with MRI files all the time, I can't believe I never thought this was something you could do with them.
This whole time for educational activities we have been carrying around the real things preserved inside a glass like maniacs, instead of, you know, a pretty 3d model that does not get kids asking us deep or gory questions about death.
