Perovskite Structure

thingiverse

A common atomic arrangement in crystals containing oxygen, transition metal elements, and rare earth elements is characterized by a basic cubic structure. Repetitions of this structure create a crystal. Oxygen atoms are smallest, followed by the medium-sized transition metals and largest rare earths. Chemical bonds are represented by connecting bars. These crystals possess unique electronic properties, intriguing many physicists and engineers. To fabricate this structure on a MakerBot Replicator 2 with PLA, I utilized parameters: infill at 10%, 1 shell, 0.27 step height, raft enabled, and printing speed of 60. While these settings aren't optimized, feel free to experiment further. Some supports may require careful removal using a heated knife. Please exercise caution during this process.
