My flying brain

Added 1705655778 by Antfield.

This is a representation of my actual brain and one of the top highlights of my sculpture work of 2023. I was able to have an MRI skull scan made for artistic purposes, from which I extracted the "cauliflower" using open source software https://www.slicer.org/ using their HD-BET plugin https://github.com/YangRyRay/SlicerHDBET/. It's the first sculpture where I am using my own body as the source.

I attatched two wings, from https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3280207

Using ball/socket joints - the sockets attached to the back of the brain
