Hi Joe, I have used a 3D printer to print out protein structures. I use Autodesk Maya 2015. There is an add on called mMaya v 1.3 which is the Molecular Maya Toolkit. This integrates with Autodesk Maya and you can load the pdb file directly for the protein that you would like to print. I usually export the final model as a .stl file and you can print on your 3D printer or upload it to Shapeways.com and select the material and print from there.
