Articulated phage model #3DThursday #3DPrinting
Shared by MartinKJHB on Thingiverse:
This is a stylised articulated model of a generic bacteriophage. I took some liberties to make it easier to print and assemble, so it is not meant to be a totally accurate molecular representation of any particular structure.
No support material is needed except for the tail stalk, and this is already included in the stalk_supp file; just remove it after printing. There is also a version without support if you prefer.

Every Thursday is #3dthursday here at Adafruit! The DIY 3D printing community has passion and dedication for making solid objects from digital models. Recently, we have noticed electronics projects integrated with 3D printed enclosures, brackets, and sculptures, so each Thursday we celebrate and highlight these bold pioneers!
Have you considered building a 3D project around an Arduino or other microcontroller? How about printing a bracket to mount your Raspberry Pi to the back of your HD monitor? And don’t forget the countless LED projects that are possible when you are modeling your projects in 3D!
The Adafruit Learning System has dozens of great tools to get you well on your way to creating incredible works of engineering, interactive art, and design with your 3D printer! If you’ve made a cool project that combines 3D printing and electronics, be sure to let us know, and we’ll feature it here!
