    Printing molecular models (atoms, bonds, etc)

    Hi all,

    I am looking to print small individual atoms such as the ones in this Proline_model.jpg.
    The atoms should ideally be smaller than 2cm with small holes (approx 5mm deep, 2-3mm wide) to attach bonds. High resolution is not necessary.

    My question, would the current (yet to be released) Peachy printer meet these specifications?
    EDIT: Also, how would the printer perform printing many small items?

    (I plan to make the bonds using the new flexible resin once available)

    Thanks!

    From my understanding this shouldnt be an issue,

    And the bond-holes could be used to keep resin from getting trapped. That way you are only really using enough resin to print the shell. Should make your molecules cheap.

    There is presently some shrinkage, so it may take you a couple tries to get the size right.
