Electron Orbitals in spherical shaped cartesian coordinate system

thingiverse

For all physics enthusiasts out there, that would like to bring some of natures smallest shapes into their home. (Can even be used as a Christmas ornament ;) ) The orbitals were created using Blender and a slightly modified version of the plugin by Nick Kort: https://github.com/Niuskir/Electron-Orbitals-Blender-3D The orbitals were placed in a 3D Grid with a diameter of 80 mm, a grid spacing of 5 mm and grid diameter of 0.75 mm to help the visualisation and create a basis structure so they'd be held together. There are two versions of each orbital one that is scaled by a factor 0.3 so that all orbitals when viewed next to each other conform to their size in relation to each other. In the second version the orbitals are scaled such that the features are better to make out. A selection of the models have been printed using an Anycubic Photon Mono X 6k with promising results.
