A customized 3D-printed histological microgrinder for the study of metallic endoprostheses

Data includes CAD files of a planar histological microgrinder designed to retrofit a FORCIPOL 1V wheel grinder-polisher as described by Sanaei 2023 (Journal of Histotechnology). The construct can be used to obtain relatively thin histological sections (20-60 µm) of resin embedded bone and/or metal that are suitable for light microscopy. The provided .stl files can be 3D printed in PLA or any other material of choice and assembled as described in the paper. The main 3D design file (.blend), a brief assembly guide and a short video have also been provided here. CAD files can be modified to retrofit any other grinder base of similar type.本数据集包含一款平面组织显微研磨机的计算机辅助设计（Computer-Aided Design，CAD）文件，该设备可适配FORCIPOL 1V型砂轮磨抛机的改装需求，改装方案源自Sanaei于2023年发表于《组织技术杂志（Journal of Histotechnology）》的研究成果。该装置可用于制备厚度为20~60 μm的较薄树脂包埋骨及金属组织切片，满足光学显微镜观测需求。本次提供的.STL格式文件可采用聚乳酸（PLA，Polylactic Acid）或其他自选材料进行3D打印，并可按照对应论文中的说明完成组装。本数据集同时提供了核心3D设计文件（.blend格式）、简易组装指南及一段短视频。此外，该CAD文件可经修改后适配其他同类型研磨机基座。
