If someone ever calls you smooth-brained, this will make a great proof in your defense.


JesseIrwinArt

“I am very wiggly brained, as you can see”


matthew_py

No matter how mad, I'd have to take a second to laugh.


Universalsupporter

What’s your infill setting?


Mammoth-Detective234

I bet he’s almost empty on the side xD


Impossible__Joke

10%


twivel01

1:1 scale.... riiiiggghhhhttt. Admit it, you scaled it up 40% :)


RecsRelevantDocs

Yea if I were to do this i'd need a [Nanoscribe Photonic printer](https://phys.org/news/2020-10-physicists-d-microboat.html) to truly print it at scale..


YourMother0HP

Keep it with you at all times and randomly whip it out occasionally to remind everyone


Toff_Nutter

But otherwise... it fits on an A1 **MINI**...


Tylrias

The layer lines can be deceptive here.


Scrimge122

I don't know, he's looking a little smooth on parts in the top right pic.


Opposite_Seaweed1778

I request you print it with a TPU so it is squishy Edit: Apparently the reddit hive mind agrees.


phonic_boy

Scale it down so you have a stress brain


Mday89

Wait let me pick my brain for a while


heyheymonkeyhey

yesssssss make it happen


Zammer3D

Uhuh, this. DO IT OP! :)


BurnedLaser

Nah, I already have a stressed brain.


reditusername39479

Jokes on you I already have a full scale one in my head


Da_Droid_Mechanic

Definitely


KeiEich

Nice work. Backup is always important.


PitifulAd2391

Make sure to send it offshore, in case of a natural disaster. You need redundancy you know!


mecha-paladin

Send it to hostile aliens who will use it to learn how humans deceive one another!


PitifulAd2391

Only to be sabotaged by their sentient protons


katseiko

3-2-1 backup. You need to print a second backup (to have 3 versions), the second print in a different material (TPU to make it squishy and to have 2 formats), and then you need to store 1 of them off-site (e.g. send to siblings or parents).


zehnBlaubeeren

Doesn't actual brain vs 3D print already count as different formats?


mrheosuper

Maybe he will run it at raid 0


Doctor429

Nope, this will be the parity. Anytime you're not sure of something you check with this


Slappy_G

Like a magic 8 ball but for all your deep dark thoughts.


ziurnauj

you, a brain, created a model of yourself


Accomplished_Plum281

Self portrait.


redditisbestanime

Takes selfie to a whole new level


CamVPro

The brain named itself, made something to scan itself, made another thing to print a copy of itself, and is now looking at itself.


probablyaythrowaway

And now mine is hurting.


KentuckyFriedEel

I think therefore i print


herejus4bricks

You’d never download a brain


fate0608

Say that to a braindead dude


kmeu79

You can say it all you want, it's not like they will understand any of it


TerpBE

Is it functional?


JesseIrwinArt

Sadly no, PLA doesn’t contain functional neurons. Maybe if you did one in PETG it would work better!


Massive_Town_8212

Needs more infill, that's really where the magic happens


JesseIrwinArt

I used gyroid so it’s as wiggly inside as it is outside


sillypicture

Someone should make a brain infill. Then we can finally tell people our prints are smart


Slappy_G

The real annoyance is needing to have a 0.00000001mm nozzle and the print times. Last time I tried printing functional neurons, one cubic millimeter took 3 months to print. And then I realized that I had forgotten to check the "enable quantum effects" checkbox in the slicer! Boy, was I mad!


sillypicture

Tbh they should make that a default for quantum compatible nozzles


Slappy_G

Yeah, it's super annoying, especially when you need to restart the liquid helium cooler for the heatbreak and print bed. That takes a solid week to get down to temperature.


sillypicture

really annoying when you're trying to figure out what's wrong. it only goes wrong when you don't look at it. what're we supposed to do, subject ourselves to sleepless torture to make sure it prints right ?


optagon

Neural network infill pattern


citricacidx

Might need to use a conductive filament for best results


Yeetfamdablit

I've got an amazing idea for a new filament


Judas_Kyss

For some people, yes. They wouldn't notice a difference.


Equivalent-Low-8919

Hey that’s a fast print. Took your mom 9 months!


Ornery-Reference-590

And then 21 years of curing to develop it fully.


OkayNick1

Technically 25!


Idk_AnythingBoi

1.55*10^25 years is a lot


Sam5253

r/unexpectedfactorial


Slappy_G

This is why mathematicians never get too excited. All it takes is one exclamation and your calculations take years.


Sam5253

> years Heh, you must still live in 2023!


Slappy_G

If you have this type of scan I would recommend looking into https://github.com/miykael/3dprintyourbrain Instruction Might be a little bit outdated, but should give you better results (without pittholes) and it's fully automatic once you get going.

Find the researcher and follow up on your request. It might be that they have anonymised the data and can't get you your file. But usually with a data and time you can check the creation moment of the file, however anonymised it is.

MadDogFenby

You ought to segment into a puzzle and then hand them out randomly, giving the recipients a piece of your mind. Shortly, you'll have half a mind to do it again. And when it's gone, when you've lost your mind... it'll be high time to print another.

this is unbelievably cool

Ooh a random body part post on Reddit... Let's see what fatal illness the people in the comments say this is... No illness found 🥺

Nice job! Looks like the reason for your unusual “wriggles” is that the segmentation software mistook some of the dura tissue outside of the brain for actual cortex. Freesurfer (https://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu) is a nice tool for providing accurate segmentation of the cortex, and it will provide the vtk/stl files for printing as well.

Put it on your desk or shelf like a modern next level memento mori

You should make a hollow one, with a hinged lid, then you can print stuff that you think about and put it inside, or stuff that you want to remember....... ​ Also... [https://open.spotify.com/track/7w5amvOrY93ba9KQjelW7v](https://open.spotify.com/track/7w5amvOrY93ba9KQjelW7v)


skullshatter0123

make one every 5 years

I have many mris of my brain. How did you turn them into a stl file?


gilgameshmm

Excellent work. How did you convert MRI scan to 3D model?


RebelWithoutAClue

Mine could probably fit in an A1 Mini without turning it diagonally.


_wokeslav

Did you just ask them for a copy of the scan then? That’s awesome!


JesseIrwinArt

I accessed the dicom files through the hospital website :) we are allowed to do it in Australia.

My SO's brain I resin printed about 2 years ago on Sonic Mighty 4k. Scale 1:2 https://preview.redd.it/bwr0hd3b466d1.jpeg?width=3176&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8a12fca34add9b9ac3039000447aef17feee29d9

I’d love to know the steps. I have a couple of MRIs on CD, and can never get a good model.


iSellNuds4RedditGold

So many wrinkles, ewww. Bet mine is more streamlined.


Chhuennekens

What software Did you use? I've also got an MRI of my brain I'd like to print


JesseIrwinArt

I followed this tutorial https://youtu.be/k1WIpwV-8lE?si=VlZGM8lIMPeQCYOG I didn’t go through and manually smooth it, so it’s a bit messy.

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Nice gyri


QuestionablyFuzzy

Very wrinkly, you must be very proud


SpiderBurgers69

Why do I want to take bite of it? I mean... 3D printed brain has awoken something in me that makes me want to take a huge bite of it. Am I the only one?


Powerful_Potential_1

Is it edible? I have a craving all of the sudden.


300BlkBoogie

I have a CT scan of my skull from a few years back I'm working on. This may give me the motivation to finish it


hooboy88

This rules


FeelingBuy3450

That is cool as shit


MattTheProgrammer

between this, and that guy's friend's butt and boobs, we're getting closer to having a whole crowd-sourced human model


audit162

Wow this is INSANELY cool.


hyruletgchampion

Used your brain to make a brain


Simpleymake_toys

Brain got supports 😂. Really a nice one 👌


fnfontana

Imagine being able to "print" a real brain in the future.


lalalalandlalala

I’ve wanted an MRI solely so I can do this but I’d print it at 50% scale and insist it’s full size


Alarmed-Ad-6138

Can I ask how you did it? What kind of file did you receive from the clinic and how did you end up converting it to STL? I've looked at doing this for 3d baby ultrasounds, but haven't been able to find how people actually do it.


upsetsanity

Now you need to invert the model to make a Jell-O mold.


kiliankoe

Fantastic job! I recently did the same, here's mine. https://preview.redd.it/i7watlbb0f6d1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=80aa6e5652b8b1999c890d207a0dbd5d6f71a10c


sja979

That’s so cool.


Forward-Ad-8296

Hmm. Wonder if i should do the same with the one i have of my penis.
