Ethane

Ethane (C₂H₆) is a simple alkane with two carbon atoms connected by a single bond. A significant component of natural gas, ethane undergoes cracking to produce ethylene, a building block for plastics.

NotesModel is optimized/tested for print with Bambu PLA and Elegoo PLA+, I decided to go with the ball-and-stick type, as it is easiest to color, is rigid, and looks awesome.I oriented the model for optimal strength/waste/time compromise, but if you decide to reorient it, try to avoid placing critical bonds along the Z-axis, as they will be easy to break.For support settings, see Figure 1. Supports are removable without too much worry of damaging model if you are careful with scalpel and do of paper-sanding afterwards.You can use PETG as support material (don't forget to set the heatbed to 70 °C!) and PLA for the model itself (the support then come off much easier).
