The easiest way to 3D print a chemical structure is to go to PubChem to find the "PubChem CID" number...
Then go to NIH 3D Print Exchange (setup account) and select "CREATE" and on the right you can do a "quick search" using the PubChem CID number.
Now, the NIH 3D Print Exchange will "prepare" the .STL file for you...you will be emailed when this is done.
As you might know, an .STL file needs to be "sliced" (i prefer Slicer) to generate a .GCODE file that can be used to 3D print.
