Summary

I've always been facinated by the beautiful spiral shape of DNA, the code of life. and I really wanted a model of it on my desk. so since I have a 3D printer and few colored filaments in my despose , I thought why not desinging one and print it myself?!

The DNA model design consist of 5 parts printable and without needing any support.

the main part is the base and the two spirals of the DNA

the other parts are the four main DNA nucleotides models; Adnine(A), Cytosine(C), Guanine(G), Thymine(T). I have labled them to be distinguished while assembling to reflect the reality. you can print each part with any color you like

if you like this design and want to print it, please leave your comments down below and don't forget to share pictures of your print here, it really motivates me to keep desinging cool stuff and post them here for free.

Nice and easy to print model!

wow, excellent choice of colour and clean print.

Print Profile

0.2mm layer, 2 walls, 15% infill

overall nice print. does require post processing if you run the standard profile provided. with a few tweaks of settings and adjusting speeds this model would print out smoother. overall still a great model and perfect for my son’s science homework

love this, is it possible to have a version where the spiral goes in the opposite direction? my genetic counselor friend wants one that matches right hand dominant

@HayderHilfi

sure. I have uploaded a modified version, happy 3D printing.
