Description
BEWARE! there is a new license on my head: You, the one who prints my head, may only print my head in return for a nice photograph of the printed head. Simple no :)? Please send the photo to [hello AT unfold DOT be]. Thanks! ps, gathering a collection of photo's to put online
This is a 3d scan of my face.
Hope this counts for Bre's "Super bonus points to the first person to put a scanned medical image" :-)

True medical data from CAT scan is hard to make printable because it often is build up of voxels (3d pixels) and not a surface of triangles.

Instructions
Convert STL to Gcode. Its easier to print this upside down (less overhangs) so I added an STL with upside down orientation.

Wow, a friend was just asking me today if I had seen one he could use with Pro/E. Not sure why he wanted it though...

Thanks :-D
Printing at the moment, first went wrong because the filament got stuck. I also have a full scan but thats not printable at the moment without support. Thanks Matthiasm for the tip on voxel to surface.

Converting voxel data into Marchin Cubes and that into a printable file is not as hard as it seems. The results are pretty cool and artsy. Unfortunatly, I only have a scan of my hip-area. If anyone has a skull, shoulder or knee... .
