Proteopedia integrates a dedicated '''Print3D''' tool within each molecular scene, enabling logged users to effortlessly generate 3D-printable molecular models directly from its pages. The tool is powered by [https://github.com/mariusmihasan/3DP-Jmol '''3DP-Jmol'''], a script that analyzes the structural data and automatically scales the model’s geometry to match the printable volume of a medium-size desktop 3D printer (e.g., Ender-3, 210×210×210 mm). During this process, the tool evaluates the molecular bounding box, atom radii, and bond lengths, then proportionally adjusts all dimensions to achieve a realistic and mechanically robust print scale — preserving scientific accuracy while ensuring manufacturability. For advanced users, [https://github.com/mariusmihasan/3DP-Jmol '''3DP-Jmol'''] may also be used in conjunction with the [https://jmol.sourceforge.net/ '''Jmol'''] program, providing full access to its scripting capabilities and advanced export features. | Proteopedia integrates a dedicated '''Print3D''' tool within each molecular scene, enabling logged-in users to effortlessly generate 3D-printable molecular models directly from its pages.
