Anencephaly is a developmental disorder of the neural crest resulting in the absence of a major portion of the brain, as well as distortion and abnormal growth of the skull. This disorder is almost always incompatible with life and is either aborted or born stillborn. This mother died during childbirth for this greatly deforemed baby who had no chance at life. As a forensic anthropologist, this is an important Indication that development doS NOT always proceed as it should, and genetic development can and often DO GO WRONG. is most difficult to determine what, exactly, are the bones of the face I'm looking at, they are that deformed. !MOST unusual scan, Most AMAZING specimen that you will never see again.

This is a 3D SCAN of a near full-term (~37 weeks) fetal anencephalic. The original specimen is covered in small nodules all over its body, they are of unknown origin, possibilities include smallpox.. The original specimen is over 80 years old! It is highly unusual to find full-term anencephalic specimens due to the advent of ultrasound. This amazing baby is almost 9" long.

This is an exact high resolution (25 microns) 3D scan of a REAL HUMAN CYCLOPS, a 36 week old fetal specimen. This was a REAL HUMAN FETAL ANACEPHALIC extracted from a high-resolution CT scan of a preserved instructional specimen that unfortunately did not survive, and it was used for teaching in the early 1900's. the original specimen is over 100 years old.

These prints are ONE-OF-A-KIND, NEVER SEEN BEFORE. I have over 150+ CT scans of fetal (baby) specimens of various ages I've converted to STL's.

I specialize in 3d printed reproductions of fetal specimens, both whole and skeletal, for learning, teaching, biology/anatomy/anthropological instructional purposes, and as works of art. These are made from high resolution computer tomography (CT) scans of previously unknown specimens dating to the early 20th century and the scans are part of my personal collection. These specimens have never been seen before.
If you have ANY INTEREST in the recent Supreme Court decision turning back protections under Roe v. Wade, then this is the place to get the replicas YOU need to make your case, one way or another. So after 15 years, I have decided to make them available for a limited engagement. I am putting these out here to try to raise the understanding of fetal development and the genetic anomalies that can happen. Thank you for understanding, if you have any questions, please contact me for other contracted uses.

Please be aware that our patterns are protected by Copyright and reselling or sharing them is illegal and punishable by law. you have the right to print this STL for your personal and educational use, but may not use it for resale. PRINT IT OUT and use it to argue your point of view to your friends, families, coworkers, and elected officials. They will never be another set so complete as mine.

All the files are protected against illegal copying and alterations.
Also the STL files are intended for all current STL printers on the market; My suggestion is to print at .1mm, 20% infill, and follow your machines recommendation after that (for stability, orientation, supports or rafts; these settings are unique to your machine and what you intend to do).

I have included THREE files; the original size, and one that has been split in half to print each half separately if you don't have a larger bed. Then you can just glue them together.
