Schistosoma mansoni adult worm pair

This model of an adult pair of Schistosoma mansoni worms makes a great keepsake for lab visitors, students or people really into parasites. I 'hand-sculpted' this model in Blender, so it takes some liberties with visibility of biological features & general scale. Made for fun and scientific curiosity rather than as a  genuine biological dataset!

I've test printed this on an Ultimaker Cura and Prusa Mini with various settings, seems to be fairly robust as long as the layer is normal/fine (i.e., no 'rough print' settings) and there are build plate supports at a minimum. I found geometric pattern supports to work better than biological/natural.
