Fig. 6

A-D 3D printed model of the female pelvis, printed in one piece. A Process of 3D printing. 3D printer: Craftbot 3, company: CRAFTUNIQUE, Budapest, Hungary, filament: PLA, color: Marble, filament-diameter: 1,75 mm from the company Geeetech, Shenzhen, China. Black arrow: relatively low density of infill material can be seen, as the inside of the model is not printed of massive PLA. This accelerates the printing-process and reduces the amount of filament needed at the cost of stability. Blue arrow: support material, which has to be removed manually after the print. B Finished model directly after being removed from the 3D printer. Support material still remaining. C Measure showing the size of the model (10 cm width). D Vulva and openings for urethra, vagina and anus have not yet been printed
