Carbon 60 (C60) Ball-and-Stick Model — Chemical Teaching Aid

A carbon C60 fullerene ball-and-stick model suitable for direct classroom teaching

Model Features

• Designed strictly according to C60 molecular symmetry, clearly displaying the spatial configuration of the truncated icosahedron and the sp² hybridized carbon framework
• Print in Place and formed directly, eliminating assembly steps, and offering superior structural strength compared to multi-part assembly
• Moderate size, can be held and rotated for observation, convenient for explaining fullerene structure, conjugated systems, and molecular symmetry
• It's also fine to kick it around 😂 (Oops, kicked too hard, two carbon atoms flew off 😂)

Printing Parameters

• Layer height: 0.2 mm
• Wall thickness: 3 walls
• Infill: 40%

Support Tips

Due to the caged ball-and-stick structure having many overhangs, it is recommended to enable tree supports (slim tree). Clean supports carefully to avoid damaging the rods
