3D model description

I made models for the structure of graphite and the graphene plane. Carbon can be present in several different ways, like graphite, which is used to make pencil leads. Graphite has stacks of planes of carbon atoms arranged in hexagons. When you have one of these planes isolated, it is called a graphene plane. A lot of research is being done with graphene because of tits properties as a nanomaterial.

I wanted a model of graphite that did not need to print supports, so I printed 3 graphene planes and several spacers that can be used to arrange the graphite structure. The spacers were done in TinkerCAD.

The graphene plane model was created by importing a .MOL file from a database into Avogadro (a free 3D molecule software). Avogadro can save the file as .PDB, a format that can be placed in yet another free software - Chimera. Chimera is the one that can save as a .STL file for printing.

Take a look at my other models:
