Body Centered Cubic Unit Cell Full Atoms

thingiverse

This is a model of a body-centered cubic unit cell with full atoms. The intended purpose of this thing is to use in a chemistry or materials classroom so that students can see the 3-dimensional aspects of the crystal structure. Instructions I printed this with 2 shells and a 10% infill with a raft. The model includes support structures at local minima that need to be trimmed away after printing (I used wire cutters). The spheres are well connected by themselves (I put cylinders between them to increase the contact area).
