Thingiverse - SALSA Man!

New on Thingiverse, the SALSA Mascot!  This is the logo for the Southern Arizona Limb Salvage Alliance, you know and love.  One of several medical and pseudo-medical devices for open source usage and remixing.

Here is what the description says:

This is the Logo to the Southern Arizona Limb Salvage Alliance.  With the sheer number of research nerds and academic weenies, it was only a matter of time before someone made a downloadable, printable, SALSA-man!

All you need is a 3D Printer and you are well on your way.

Thingiverse - Anatomic Human Foot

Freesider's are evermore professional printistas of sorts.  As our sprints are ramping up, there seems to be a growing interest in "organic modeling".  Things often found in nature fall into this category for CAD artists.

Here is a recent Thingiverse upload, which was made from some very simple modeling techniques in Newtek's Lighwave 3D application.  A little goes a very long way, indeed.




per Thingiverse.com:

There are 26 proper bones in the human foot; 28 if you consider the sesamoids of the 1st metatarsal phalangeal joint complex. That's over 25% of your body's total musculo-skeletal anatomy, hitting the ground every time you go for a walk or run! Quite impressive, really.

This anatomic foot model was designed in Newtek's Lightwave 3D, as part of the podcast @ YouTube.com/DrGlassDPM

Anatomic study models can be quite expensive, search.anatomywarehouse.com/search?keywords=foot&x=0&y=0 so I wanted to share my printable version with the Thingiverse crowd and give a big shout out to Freeside Atlanta's Hackerspace!

Instructions

I've included the individual bones with a straightforward naming convention. These parts will be replaced, as I continue to add more detail and such; for now, enjoy!

Additionally, there are FootBones.stl and FootSkin.stl, for those of you Duel Extruding.

Otherwise, I'd be impressed to see some of the techniques towards printing this and having a clean separation from support material. This (and deriviatives thereof) will hopefully rival things like: molded study models search.anatomywarehouse.com/search?keywords=foot&x=0&y=0

The Human Machine as per Da Vinci

The human anatomy is an incredible work of art.  Leonardo Da Vinci is, unfortunately, not formally credited as a scientist in this realm.  At least, not quite as he should be...
