Thanks, yes, i should have checked out the link on the original post before 
asking.
Free programs "blender" or "meshlab" convert vmrl to .stl files which 
3d-printers
including makerbot read. eab

Output should be in *VRML* formal
RasMol, PyMol & Jmol all have options to write out VRML format files.
Sometimes you need add additional 'struts' to give additional structural 
support, Jmol has option of adding these struts.

Along the same lines, does anyone have a program for converting Raster-3D format
such as Molscript puts out, into one of the formats readable by a 3D printer?

An off-topic question-now that 3D printing is becoming more common, has anyone 
tried to print protein structures other than just the surface representation

Is it possible to print a ribbon representation for example?

Thanks!
