This 3D printed model represents a detailed cross section of the human ear, showcasing its intricate anatomy for educational and illustrative purposes. The model encompasses all essential components, providing a clear understanding of the ear's structure and function.
Detailed Anatomy:
Outer Ear (Pinna and Auditory Canal): Features a realistic depiction of the auricle (pinna) and the external auditory canal, highlighting the ear's role in sound collection and direction.Middle Ear: Includes the tympanic membrane (eardrum), malleus, incus, and stapes (ossicles), demonstrating their positions and connections.Inner Ear: Displays the cochlea, vestibule, and semicircular canals, illustrating the complex structures responsible for hearing and balance.
Notice: The images showcasing the model are not all real photographs. I have labeled the top left corner to indicate which images are real and which are digitally rendered. The purpose of the rendered images is to highlight the intricate details, especially if you plan to print them on a resin printer.
3D printing settingsThere are two versions of the ear model: one with a stand and one without. I have provided the model at its full width of 19 cm to showcase its details. While it can be printed at a smaller scale, this may cause issues with the Malleus part, which will become very small. It is recommended to print at the same scale or larger for optimal results.
