Hi Ronnie, I have not tried it, but a quick google search for protein ribbon 3d printer turns up the following in the results list-- http://ironchefsynbio.wordpress.com/tag/3d-printer/ http://www.lib.ua.edu/sites/default/files/rodgers/Rodgers%203D%20Printing%20Molecular%20X-ray%20Data_V1.pdf http://plato.cgl.ucsf.edu/pipermail/chimera-users/2013-May/008821.html http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/Outreach/technotes/ModelGallery/index.html

An off-topic question-now that 3D printing is becoming more common, has anyone tried to print protein structures other than just the surface representation like in this tutorial? http://www.instructables.com/id/3D-Print-a-Protein-Modeling-a-Molecular-Machine/ Is it possible to print a ribbon representation for example? Thanks! Ronnie
