Methane is the simplest hydrocarbon, consisting of one carbon atom bonded to four hydrogen atoms in a tetrahedral shape. It is a major component of natural gas and a potent greenhouse gas. Methane forms through anaerobic decomposition of organic matter and is widely used as a fuel in homes and industries. When burned, it combusts cleanly, producing carbon dioxide and water.

NotesModel is optimized/tested for print with Bambu PLA and Elegoo PLA+, I decided to go with the ball-and-stick type, as it is easiest to color, is rigid, and looks awesome.I oriented the model for optimal strength/waste/time compromise, but if you decide to reorient it, try to avoid placing critical bonds along the Z-axis, as they will be easy to break.For support settings, see Figure 1. Supports are removable without too much worry of damaging model if you are careful with scalpel and do of paper-sanding afterwa
