Re: [ccp4bb] 3D printing format
If it helps an academic colleague of mine has been developing hi-res full-colour 3D printed molecule models for the last 6 months or so and is very happy to help design and make any molecules of interest. These can include mini-magnets to click pieces together (ligand binding etc). I’ve included a picture of one of his latest ones.

[ccp4bb] 3D printing format
Sorry for the rather random question but has anyone out there used a 3D printer to print a protein structure? If so, what format did you need to convert the PDB into to allow the printer to interpret the data?

Hi Joe, Here are some links that he might find helpful: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:222918 https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:396459 From the instructions on the second link: The STL File of this protein was created using PyMOL, First, you download the PDB file from the protein databank website (http://www.pdb.org) for protein molecule 1FQY. Open PyMOL program, then go to File, Open and load the PDB file you just downloaded. Select to display the surface profile, on the right control panel of your viewer, click on S and select show as: surface. This will take a few seconds to load the surface profile. Now you can save this image as VRML 2 WRL file. The VRML file can be then be viewed and converted into STL file using a 3D modeling software such as Blender.

I usually export the final model as a .stl file and you can print on your 3D printer or upload it to Shapeways.com and select the material and print from there.
