Description
This is the front part of the Skull of an around thirty year old man.
FOSS - Slicer
slicer.org/
was used to convert the CT data into an rudimentary *.stl of 523MB size.
This tutorial video helped a lot:
youtube.com/watch?v=og3t1i9gSG0
Then Meshlab:
* check on holes
* removal of unconnected parts
* smoothing and downsampling to 130MB
It might be printable as it is with an SLS-Nylon printer but the natural stucture is rather fine (thinn walls) in relation to the models size. Thus for an FDM Printer I guess further modification will be necessary. Either unrealistic simplification for a smaller print, or scale-up and splitup into multiple parts.

Hey thanks for uploading this. I used your scan to modify/improve the derivative I made from someone else's skull scan. Sadly the system doesn't allow for us to point at two models as the ancestors. You can find my "derivative" here: http://www.thingiverse.com/thi...

Nice, I like your three skull mesh comparison picture.
As for the multiderivations - I think it should be possible. I'm pretty sure lately I've seen things with multiple ancestors around.
Yust to keep licenses meaningful: Since your derivative barely holds resamblance with my model here I'am consent with your non-share-alike license.
Elvis creator HPaul also wants SA.
Please check if he is consent too or change your license.
