Not included in that article is a thingiverse link to a print of
topoisomerase which was pointed out to me. They report using
KISSlicer to print the necessary support material.
While this insulin model was sufficiently globular to cut and
print in two halves, there are many structures that aren't. I
think the general way to go is to support print material.
Also, I've heard that recent developer versions of Slic3r are
now starting to include support material, but I haven't tried it
yet. Don't be fooled by the checkbox for including support
material in the stable version (0.7.2 I think) as it is
currently ineffective.
Maybe skeinforge, as called by replicatorg, does support
material, haven't tried it yet.
