Anatomically-correct wishbone for vegan Thanksgiving

prusaprinters

No fighting over the Turkey's wishbone during this long-standing tradition. Also vegan Thanksgivings could 3D print this model to keep up with the tradition of breaking the wishbone.This anatomically-correct model 3D scanned by the Department of Veterinary Sciences in LMU Munich, Bavaria, Germany. Just wanted to share and make this great scan more accessible. Here's the original link to LMU's SketchFab. Recommended settings:I recommend at least 0.1mm layer height since its a small model. Supports are needed but even so, its only a 2 grams print. History according to MyRecipe website:"The tradition of breaking a bird’s wishbone dates back to ancient Italy, where people would pull apart chicken clavicles for good luck.You see, these Romans believed that birds possessed divine powers. They also believed that keeping this particular bone would give them access to those powers.This idea became so popular that there weren’t enough wishbones to go around—so people started breaking them in half.But it gets more complicated than that: The person who ended up with the bigger half of the bone would get their wish granted, while the unlucky other person would not. This practice was widespread in England, where the bone was called a “merrythought,” by the 16th-century. The English brought this tradition to the New World.As you likely know, the pilgrims settled in Plymouth, Massachusetts and celebrated the “first Thanksgiving” in 1621.Turkeys were abundant in Plymouth—and, well, you can probably guess what happened next."Article
