Riboflavin Molecule

thingiverse

Constructing a 3D model of riboflavin molecule has been my third attempt. Utilizing a protein data bank file, the model was manipulated in VMD and further refined via Tinkercad, which I enjoy. Despite encountering issues with gaps between hydrogen bonds and their corresponding atoms, these were fixed by manually replacing them with cylinders in Tinkercad. The final print turned out perfectly, and I even added paint for a more accurate representation. Included are pictures of the model. For this print, I used a raft, which made removal of mounts from the replicator base easier. No supports were required as I manually provided my own. If you're interested in painting the atoms the correct color, Wikipedia has links that can help. Moving forward, I will attempt more complex full protein structures.
