  3D Printing of Biomolecular Models for Research and Pedagogy Eduardo Da Veiga Beltrame¹, James Tyrwhitt-Drake², Ian Roy³, Raed Shalaby⁴, Jakob Suckale⁴, Daniel Pomeranz Krummel^{5 1}Department of Physics, Brandeis University, ²Bioinformatics and Computational Biosciences Branch (BCBB), NIH/NIAID/OD/OSMO/OCICB, ³Library/LTS/MakerLab, Brandeis University, ⁴Interfaculty Institute of Biochemistry (IFIB), University of Tübingen, ⁵Winship Cancer Institute, Emory University School of Medicine Physical models of biomolecules can facilitate an understanding of their structure-function for the researcher, aid in communication between researchers, and serve as an educational tool in pedagogical endeavors. Here, we provide detailed guidance for the 3D printing of accurate models of biomolecules using fused filament fabrication desktop 3D printers.
