Solubility of Glucose Model

This model is designed to show how covalent compounds such as glucose dissolve in water. The carbon atoms (black), oxygen atoms (pink), and water molecules are all to scale. Separate molecules can be printed and placed on top of the molecule in the same repeating structure. Using the included water molecules, the process of dissolving a covalent compound can be shown by removing the individual molecules. Files are included to print the model on dual extruder printers (recommended) and single extruder printers. The glucose crystal file for a single extruder is too large for 123D to export as an STL so a single layer (which can be printed multiple times and glued together) is included.
