This model represents a Cas9 complex in a form optimized for 3D printing. It includes the Cas9 protein, the single-guide RNA (sgRNA), and the target DNA.

The model was derived from the molecular structure and adapted to ALLOW PRINTABILITY and structural stability. The protein is displayed as a molecular surface, while the nucleic acids are displayed as spheres to clearly show their position within the complex and their interaction with the protein.

Print information:

• Printer: Prusa MK4S

• Supports required: Yes !!! Organic!!!

• Layer height: min. 0.2 mm recommended for nice quality

• Print scale: mind. 250 % recommended 

• Print time for huge 400% scale with 0.2 mm layer hight: around 37h 

• Filament type: PLA

• Infill percentage: 5%

• Perimeters: 2

• USE organic supports !!! --> won't work otherwise

Place least important surface on the build plate and surfaces you want to see oriented upwards for a nice look.
