The perfect gift doesn’t exi… Oh wait!
Those tiny replicas of our Titan Krios microscopes are absolutely adorable! 🥹❄️
Thank you so much @snowentific.bsky.social!
Wishing you all the best in your next adventure - you will be missed!
I'm so glad you like them! It's been such a pleasure working in Leeds, I'm gonna miss it like crazy 😭 love you all

A 3D printed Ultracentrifuge rotor. The rotor body is in black with silver edging to simulate wear and tear. The rotor lid is red and the cap is silver. The lid and cap are on the side of the body, and all three are on a wooden surface. Whoever you are you're amazing just for being you!
A 3D printed Ultracentrifuge rotor. The rotor body is in black with silver edging to simulate wear and tear. The rotor lid is red and the cap is silver. The lid and cap are in place screwed onto the body. The whole thing is hanging from a tree I found in the common room of my workplace. Whoever you are you're brilliant, and I wish you nothing but happiness!
As a postdoc I don't take my work home often enough - there might be 15 whole minutes where I'm not thinking about science. So I decided to print an ultracentrifuge rotor for my tree so even when I'm in the holiday spirit I know I will always belong to the lab.

A trio of AKTA pures, specially modelled to be miniature plant pots. They're on a wooden table with a brick background.
Squad goals. Now all that's needed are some tiny plants to put in them!

Printing magical science boxes and turning them into tiny plant pots might be my new favourite thing. This little dude is only 8cm tall!

I've had good experiences with the mosquito and ORYX systems, though the former was really high maintenance :/ the nerve of that company!

A depiction of the protein glucooligosaccaride oxidase (GOOX), overgrown with plant life in red, green and pale cream. The leaves are from a variety of plants. Am oligosaccharide is shown in red as a cylinder view. The protein is a ribbon depiction.
I love #sciartseptember - the trees might be losing their leaves but those on glucooligosaccaride oxidase stay evergreen...

I definitely prime the resin! Have to wait for it to 100% cure too or the paint won't stick.
11.09.2023 21:14 — 👍 1 🔁 1 💬 0 📌 0Yeah the stuff isn't easy for sure. For prints I'm going to sand a bunch anyway like the stands I print with a 1mm nozzle. Otherwise I have to switch to my direct drive toolhead since it has a better extruder.
11.09.2023 21:14 — 👍 1 🔁 1 💬 1 📌 0I'm so glad you like them! The only FDM parts are the wood-effect filament used in the stands. Comes from ooznest, I highly recommend though it likes to clog! The rest is painted resin 😁
10.09.2023 20:42 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0I genuinely had never heard the term used in that way (or at all 😂). Seems to me we can do a little better, and certainly should if we want this to feel like a safe space for women.

A 3D print of the met requestor complex (surface view). The protein subunits are in blue and purple and the DNA is in orange. The complex is on a decorative stand with a black stalk and wood base, with a silver sign saying "met repressor complex PDB 1MJ2".
A 3D print of the auxin response factor 1. The protein subunits are painted in an orange-yellow gradient, and the DNA is painted blue. The protein is laid on a wood background.
A 3D print of the auxin response factor 1. The protein subunits are painted in an orange-yellow gradient, and the DNA is painted blue. The protein is split into the subunits on a wood background.
A 3D print of the auxin response factor 1. The protein subunits are painted in an orange-yellow gradient, and the DNA is painted blue. The protein is stood on a decorative wood-effect stand with a silver sign saying "auxin response factor 1 PDB 4LDX.
My latest #3Dprinting adventure! Two months in the making, the client wanted to show the idea of protein-protein interactions. Both these structures can be taken apart and put back together!

A 3D printed moose painted primarily in a brown wood-effect, with ice-blue antlers, nose and hooves. The eyes are jet black.
A 3D printed moose with a purple body. The nose and eyes are jet black and the hooves and antlers are an orange-yellow gradient.
Not science, but I've been loving making these #3Dprinted moose toys! All 4 legs and the head can move, and I've done a few different colours by now.

A render of a 3D structure of the insulin receptor, presented as a desk model. The receptor is in green, insulin in white and the membrane in cream. The stand is black and white. The structure is in atomic view. Whoever you are, you matter and I'm glad you exist :)
Howdy! For those of you I knew on the former bird place, good to see you again! For everyone else, I'm a structural biology postdoc based in Leeds, UK. I also like to make things with blender and 3D print some of them!
