    Maryland Blue Crab 3D Print Model

    Summary
    3D model of a female Maryland blue crab
    The 3D model was created from CT scan data (11M triangle OBJ file) at the Smithsonian Institution – Digitization | 3D https://3d.si.edu/
    To simplify printing, the .obj file was simplified in MeshLab to reduce the object faces down from 11,317,504 to 2,000,000 faces and exported as an .stl file.

    Cleaning up the print
