This is an awesome addition to Jmol. Thanks again Bob! I’m curious if there is any advantage to using STL ASCII over STL Binary? I have not found a difference with processing these formats in our 3D Printer software applications. Vin — Vincent F. Scalfani, Ph.D. Science and Engineering

[Jmol-users] JSmol in Institutional Repositories?

2016-08-26 Thread Scalfani, Vincent
Hello, I have seen many great incorporations of JSmol in chemical databases and web pages. However, I am curious if anyone has incorporated JSmol into an Institutional Repository (e.g. Dspace)? Thanks! Vin Vincent F. Scalfani, Ph.D. Science and Engineering Librarian, University Libraries

Dear Christian: I use the set exportScale. Somewhere in the 10-20 range seems to work well for 3D printing sizes. Not sure if you can set exact dimensions. Example: set exportScale (10.0) - Vincent F. Scalfani, Ph.D. Assistant Professor Science and Engineering

Thanks Bob, We did include Jmol briefly in Scheme 1 and the supporting info. ☺ Actually now I see a mistake in Scheme 1, it should also have .cif to .wrl with Jmol, not just .pdb to .wrl. That work was actually done a year ago (J. Chem. Ed is very slow….) before we discovered Jmol as a great

Hello, Bob's recent Jmol update email reminded me that many of you may be interested in our little project of using Jmol to batch convert crystal structures from the COD into 3D printable files (.wrl and .stl). We are working with the RSC to develop an online repository for these files. Here
