Vanillin (C8H8O3, CAS 121-33-5) — a free educational 3D molecular model for teachers and students, by MolGod.org. Whatever the filament colour, each atom reads clearly thanks to its engraved symbol.
Start with the ring system: Vanillin has one aromatic 6-membered ring; in total the model carries 19 bonds (12 single, 1 double and 6 aromatic). Use the engraved letters like a register: call out each element and tick it off until the class reaches 8 C + 8 H + 3 O (19 atoms altogether). Team task: with the model in hand, each group marks the aldehyde group (-CHO), the phenolic hydroxyl group (Ar-OH) and the ether linkage (C-O-C), then writes down what they found. Lesson link: aromaticity and delocalised electrons, the carbonyl group (C=O), as well as phenols and hydrogen bonding. For a lesson on isomerism, print it together with (-)-Mandelic acid (CAS 611-71-2) and Methylparaben (CAS 99-76-3): the same atoms, arranged differently.
Teachers and students can use this MolGod.org model free of charge. Teachers: print one per group and let students check the structure against the formula.

A ball-and-stick model of Vanillin with each element symbol recessed into its atom sphere, generated by MolGod.org from a PubChem-computed 3D conformer (not an experimental crystal structure); atomic coordinates and connectivity are unchanged. STL mesh: 259,524 triangles, closed (watertight) single solid. Coordinates in ångström (STL stores no unit) — scale the model deliberately in your slicer.
Names in other languages: Vanilline (fr); vanillina (it); vanilline (nl); wanilina (pl); 香草醛 (zh).
