Full Size Anatomically Correct Human Foot Model

This anatomically correct human foot model uses 2.85mm filament to attach and hold the bones together. The filament allows for some movement between bones, however excessive pressure or repeated movements may weaken and break the filament. This model is designed for displaying, studying or light use, but will not stand up to rough classroom handling.

It worked very well." This is an advanced project to print and assemble. Some anatomy knowledge is helpful but not necessary. Regardless, you will be an expert by the time you are done! Every attempt has been made to maintain anatomical accuracy with the following exceptions. The sesamoid bones have been fused to the first metatarsal, and the proximal bones have been fused together. These bones are too small and fragile to be printed and articulated separately. Printing Instructions A file of the complete foot model is included for reference only. Raising the bones off the print bed around 3mm and adding support helps to maintain the contours. “Tree” supports in Cura works well. The metatarsal and phalanges are positioned from left to right: fifth (little) toe, forth toe, third toe, second toe and first (big) toe. Keep track of these as you print them! It might be helpful to leave the support structure on until right before use. Labelling them might be helpful too. There are two versions of the calcaneus: a plain one and one with hole to attach to the optional stand. Print the one you want. Assembly Instructions You can follow along on this video here: https://youtu.be/Qn_jcQ9kIfc See above for a picture of the pathways of connecting filament through the tarsal bones. You will need to use a very strong glue; CA glue works well. Always to dry fits before gluing and be sure to trim t
