Big Bear - MattiaMercante
Continuing the theme of prints inspired by nature, user MattiaMercante printed this amazingly detailed 35cm tall bear rearing up on its hind legs. It’s so realistic that it almost looks like it’s about to jump through your screen.

T. rex - Carl_Chaumont
Of course, the Form 1+ isn’t just for printing living animals–it can also be used to print some of the most terrifying monsters from Earth’s history, like this giant T. rex skeleton printed by user Carl_Chaumont.

Troll King - JulianLefebvre

Blood Vessels and Neurons - SungWooChoi and EyeWire Labs
And last, but not least: two amazing examples of accurate, realistic models of the hidden structures of the human brain and nervous system. First, user SungWooChoi printed this amazing model of the blood vessels in a human brain–more specifically, her own mother’s brain imaged during an MRI study–in one single piece.

The EyeWire project uses crowdsourcing by gamers playing the EyeWire game to create 3D models from serial electron microscope (SEM) images. Here’s an example of a neuron which the folks at EyeWire labs shared with us.
