Description

3D model of a spinel's (MgAl 2 O 4 ) 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 (http://www.chemtube3d.com/solidstate/_spinel(final).htm). creator: Tuomas. T. Hämäläinen, as part of Aalto University course ELEC-L3999: 3D Printing of Open Source Hardware for Science (http://www.appropedia.org/L3999), by Dr. Joshua M. Pearce
