Molecule Ornaments

A collection of simple ornaments shaped like various molecules: Caffeine, Serotonin, Adrenaline, Dopamine, GABA, and Whiskey. 

Each molecule has an oval shape that is meant for hanging and was designed to give it a center of balance (for GABA it ended up being on top of the circle). 

• Serotonin is known as the confidence or happiness molecule.
• GABA (gamma-Aminobutyric acid) molecule. GABA is known for being the anti-anxiety molecule or as the molecule to create a sense of calmness.
• Dopamine is known for influencing reward-motivated behavior. It is also sometimes considered the pleasure-seeking molecule.
• Adrenaline is known as the energy molecule. Great for high energy, go-getters! Fight or Flight!
• Caffeine is a stimulate, this molecule is great for coffeeholics.
• Whiskey (whiskey lactones) is one of the compounds that get into the whiskey during the aging process.

Printing Information:

Sometimes these can give me a lot of trouble because of the small bits that get printed, but here are some specifics I use in the PrusaSlicer (I'm going to be honest, I don't know what all of these are but this is what I have in my settings for this): 

• Slower First Layer, about 15 mm/s.
• Extrusion Width first layer: 130%
• Elephant food compensation: .1mm
• Extrusion for Perimeters, External Perimeters, Infill, Solid Infill, Top Solid Infill: .35mm
• Infill/Perimeters overlap: 35%
• Infill: 100% (these are pretty small so might as well make them as sturdy as you can. 
• Length of the infill anchor: 600%

When I print them all at once, I also put some glue stick in the top right corner where I know Adrenaline is going to stick out because for some reason, that one always pulls up for me.
