Never let a good tragedy go to waste
I used to have an Ender. It was great, very few problems. Ended up needing to sell it while I traveled for residency, then ended up getting a soval. I like it even more. Set up was super easy, prints are great. Only issue I’ve had was needing to replace the hot end because I boogered it up and completely encased it in plastic. On the plus side, changing the hot end was fast and easy.
Exactly this. It sounds like OP wants it to be an instructional aid. It does not need to be sterile, the people practicing need to practice how to don sterile gloves, then drape and prep the site sterilly and insert the catheter correctly.
I don’t think realistic texture is all that important. Most of the practice is more about the technique and maintaining sterility throughout.
Not for that, but I printed a model of the brachial plexus to teach about nerve blocks. I also made a small section of a spine to explain epidurals and subarachnoid blocks to patients.
Write it down/put on your calendar now. You’re not going to remember to do it later and then you’ll completely forget it. Even if you’re sure you’ll remember it this time, you won’t. Just write it down. And make a habit of checking your calendar frequently. Like multiple times a day. Putting it in your calendar and never seeing it again doesn’t help.
Schedule just about everything. Even the things you didn’t think you’ll need to schedule. Schedule what time you’re going to work out, or play video games. Put an event in your calendar to make that phone call to your insurance company at a specific time instead of remembering to do it after they’re closed every time.
