Poseable Human Skeleton Display - 1/10th Scale

Designed to be a visually attractive desktop display for a doctor friend.

Bones have a duct inside for a thin wire (~0.6mm) to be inserted, forming an armature that can be used to pose the skeleton.

Skeleton is CT scanned - though minor edits were made to printability (slight thickening of bones, of course the wire-channels, bending some ribs for easier printing, etc). I hope the medically inclined can forgive these tweaks, I endeavored to change as little as possible.

This is not the easiest project - was made as a one-off, so some of the wiring is a bit fiddley.

The 'Display Cloche' thing is made simply by cutting a 2L soda bottle (place a razor on a roll of tape, press into the base of the bottle, and spin the bottle), and then use the sphere-cap ontop, and the botte-base-wall below. I simply split my bottle-base-wall (using scissors) so it would fit better, then printed the 'name-card-holder' to glue over the split. Feel free to design a more graceful way to accommodate your bottle - but this worked for a one-off.

Skeleton printed in resin, stand and display printed in FDP PLA.

Thank you to NIH.gov for the scan.

Thank you to falanx for the bottlecap model.
