Spinel crystal structure
3D model of a spinel's (MgAl2O4) cubic crystal structure (5x5x5 cube). STL file monochrome, OpenSCAD file tri-color. Within OpenSCAD file, the atom sizes can be changed; in this, the mg and al sizes are slightly decreased. Flat bottom helps with 3D printing, but it is advisable to print with support structures.
Built based on a model from Chemtube.
