Sounds like a Left Ventricular Assist Device (LVAD). Interestingly enough, with the older implants there is no detectable heartbeat under a stethoscope due to the way the pump functions. Pretty surprising when you’re expecting to find one, and has led to it being unoficially dubbed VLAD in reference to the creatures of the night.




TLDW: When designing parts with modeled-in supports, split and export the model as separated pieces so slicer prints object and support separately. Also print at 45° angle.
