I am interested in printing a brain that contains 696 parcels (i.e., chunks that break up the total brain).
The .obj file was created such that each of these parcels are spatially separate. Do you have recommendations for printing these parcels such that they are slightly connected, i.e., having the parcels be connected yet still being able to see most of the grooves in between them? I hard coded the .obj file in R/Python. Do you have recommendations for easy redesign of this 3D file to accomplish this goal?
I would like for all parcels to be one solid piece when printed.
Here is an image to get a sense of the object.
Thanks. I am new to 3D printing so any advice would be appreciated.
