Description

Custom shipping container to allow a rat brain to be frozen and shipped while maintaining the integrety of its shape. This allows the organ to be sliced and photographed under a microscope with little deformation or distortion. The model was made by scaning a rat kidney with a David SLS-2 3D scanner, then using that image with TinkerCad online CAD software to create the case. If printed with a lfexible filament, such as NinjaFlex, the mold can be twisted for easy removal of the frozen organ.
