I have a question regarding volumen rendering

I dont know how I can create a good stl file with just the face of the baby, I used ROI but still conserve the cubic form…

The file you got is just a volume rendering screen capture video. Unfortunately, you cannot retrieve a 3D volume from this. (In theory, using computer vision techniques you can reconstruct a 3D shape from a rotational video, but this would be quite hard and not in the scope of what 3D Slicer does.)
