Thats why we have MRI scans for such a thing ?

Not really. Conventional MRI is insensitive to bone - though it's possible with special techniques to get imagery usable for medical diagnostics. But for a high-res scan of a skeleton that you'd feed to a 3D printer?
--- Quote ---"One of the unusual features of magnetic resonance (MR) imaging of the musculoskeletal system is the fact that many of the tissues of most interest such as tendons, ligaments, menisci, periosteum, and cortical bone have short T2s and produce no signal when imaged with conventional pulse sequences. They have been described as MR “invisible.”"

And I'd like to see you persuade a clinic to use their expensive diagnostics on you so you can have a nice 3D-print of your skeleton.

Then he could stick it in the head side of the neck joint instead.
TheEvilDog:
Honestly, I'm just surprised May's lemon of a chassis didn't ignite sooner.

Yet the chassis of a Lemon seems to be holding up quite well.
