SARS-CoV-2 (Covid-19) Virion Model
Description
Our printable 3D model of the SARS-CoV-2 virion is one of the most accurate available, displaying the surface of the virus in brilliant detail. The model includes 25 spike proteins with the 4 key conformation variants – closed, open, double-open, and post-fusion states. It also includes M protein and E protein features embedded in the surface. The sphere of the model is 15cm in diameter, with each Spike protein around 3cm long. A display stand is also included. The model is downloaded and printed as a kit, the virion envelope sphere is printed in two parts which must be glued together, and 25 spike proteins are also printed each as two parts which must be stuck together. The 3D printed model is based on up-to-date scientific information and a digital molecular model containing over 7 million atoms. The viral protein structures are sourced from the Protein Data Bank, the virion model was assembled by published researcher Samuel A. McKie. An associated website for the product, which details the background information and methods used to construct this 3D print is available at www.chapelprints.co.uk. We also sell the finished model from our site should you want to skip the 50-70 hour print time... So whether you’re a teacher wanting to express the insidious ingenuity of this enemy, or a carer, medic, or scientist wanting to display a tangible sculpture of the opponent, this model is one of the most accurate available. Details: Multiple files are included in this large download. The SARS-CoV-2 complete virion, displays all the parts of the kit joined together. This is not intended to be a printable file. Virion Shell - half 1 and Virion Shell - half 2. Printer settings, wall thickness 1.2, infill 20%-25%, no raft or support required. Virion half 1 - spikes 1-8, Virion half 1 - spikes 9-14 are the Spike protein intended for Half 1 of the Virion Shell. Virion half 2 - spikes 1-6, Virion half 2 - spikes 7-11 are intented for Half 2 of the Virion Shell. Printer settings 1.2 wall thickness, 100% infill, no raft required, supports optional. Virion stand. Printer settings 1.0 wall thickness, 15-20% infill, no raft required, support optional on most printers.
