The lumbar vertebrae, sourced from the reputable BodyParts3D database, consist of L1 to L5 and are split down the middle plane for easy printing and assembly.

You can download the ZIP of .OBJ files from https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B_3DyBhHQQc2X2t5ZXNpbkZqNTA. For further insight into the BodyParts3D project, refer to the journal article at http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18835852 and its full-text version at http://nar.oxfordjournals.org/content/37/suppl_1/D782.full-text-lowres.pdf. My post on preparing anatomical features for printing can be found at http://craig.bonsignore.com/2012/10/07/open-3d-human-anatomy/. After printing and assembling the pieces, share your work and consider creating more body parts tagged with "bodyparts3d" for others to enjoy!
