I recently purchased a bambu labs p1s after many years of fighting with an Ender 3. I've printed so many things and not had a single fail, it prints so fast I actually don't know what to do next.. The AMS also opens up a whole new world, I've printed book marks (I know it sounds silly) but these things look amazing, something I never would have thought of ever. My only gripe is not having all the filament colours I want due to cost haha.

I'll have to speak to them a bit more to work out exactly how detailed they need or want the model. If it's just the female model, that won't be awfully difficult, I can sculpt something if I absolutely have to with my beyond basic skills lol

They really wanted the cross section to be able to show where the device sits and explain in better detail the operation that was done.

Thank you, I'll check them out also.

That sounds really cool, I'll have to research that just for myself.

The image my co-worker pulled up wasn't super detailed, she wants something that can be shown to new staff and patients just so you get an idea of where the urethra and bladder is and how close they are to the vagina.

Then for the male one, just to show how to hold the penis while inserting the catheter. This one will be more of a challenge since it needs to flex, the female one I might have to just model and hope for the best

It wouldn't need to be sterile at all, it's just a teaching tool for patients before they are discharged home. Showing exactly where things go and why is much easier to understand when you can see it, an absolute ideal model would be a cross section.

Sorry for the slow reply, I posted that while on lunch.

The thought was more to use the model as a teaching aid, a few of our patients go home with a catheter and its easier to demonstrate on a model rather than just images and explaining it, we have "Harry" who is an abdomen with genitals, but don't have a female model. I can see my search history is about to get super interesting.

 

Hey folks, just been chatting with urology nurses at work and wondering if anyone has or knows of medical models that could be 3D printed? Specifically something staff can practice putting a catheter in. I'm hoping there is something about so I don't have to sculpt a whole model

I'm so glad you have fantastic support around you. Pain is something I'm forever telling the folks I care for to not put up with, even if you feel it's OK just keep up with the pain relief. You might think everything is "normal" without even realising how bad things have gotten.

It's fantastic when you get someone like that, it's so rare to be able to geek out over the medical stuff and not scare anyone lol

Glad you are healing well, chronic pain is such a bundle of sticks. I hope something is found and works well to keep you comfortable

How goes the healing? The body is wild, a few weeks back I removed a dressing from a foot with 2 amputated toes, tendons, muscle, fat tissue. The whole lot was right before my face, it was amazing. Two weeks later they were walking out the door to go home, with no issues at all

Oh wow you've just fell down that one? Enjoy it all!! I can't wait for the album Sick Boi
