Description
This is a two part version of the Human Brain by jmil
It requires no support so is easier to print and looks cool when you pull it apart front of someone.
This was one of the most tricky things I have ever printed - good luck.
If anyone with an Ultimaker fancies a challenge, print this.
It's printed with Faberdashery Pink PLA.

Instructions
You need at least 8% infill to print this, you can go higher, it will use a lot of plastic to print this brain and take a long time.
It was printed with a standard 0.5mm nozzle and 0.3mm layer slice.
The Gcode will be big 30MB+ for each part so really you want to be printing this from a SD card not via a serial connection.
Each half was about 8 hours for me to print on a Prusa with heated bed.
I also found a small slow moving fan blowing across the object really helps with this sort of build, it's just full of overhangs and thin plastic sections floating in the air. Just make sure you don't over-cool your heated bed or hot-end if you do decide to use a fan.

This actually looks gross and slimy. Was the object modeled or scanned?

Only a single color? Are you feeling OK Rich? :)
Looks good, wish Faberdashery were more local to me, I'd love to try some of those colors.
What layer height are you using?

I Know, I was soooo tempted to make it rainbow coloured, maybe next time. Layers are 0.3mm
It would also look great in Faberdashery Buttercream, and I think that's a closer brain colour?
The Faberdashery colours are really great and the plastic is the best you can get, you should try a Rainbow pack.

Fantastic model! Printed on Printrbot Plus using the micro SD card. Took almost two days to print both halves but it was worth it. See picture in the Made it section.
I sent the print to my neurologist so she can no longer say "Nobody has any brains around here."
