Cyclohexanone is a cyclic ketone with the formula C₆H₁₀O, a colorless to pale yellow oily liquid with an odor reminiscent of peppermint and acetone. While it occurs naturally in crude oil, it is produced synthetically on a large scale. The vast majority of cyclohexanone is used as a chemical intermediate in the production of nylon. Specifically, it is a precursor to adipic acid and caprolactam, the essential building blocks for nylon 6 and nylon 6,6. It also functions as a versatile solvent for lacquers, resins, degreasers, and spot removers, and is used in the manufacturing of herbicides, antihistamines, and as an additive in paints.

Notes

• If you happen to break something, use superglue to fix it. It will make the broken part even stronger.
• I decided to go with the ball-and-stick type, as it is easiest to color, is rigid, and looks awesome.
• The model represents the major resonance contributor.
• I oriented the model for optimal strength/waste/time compromise, but if you decide to reorient it, try to avoid placing bonds along the Z-axis, as they will be very easy to break.
• Supports removable without too much worry of damaging model if you are careful with scalpel and do of paper-sanding afterwards.
• You can use PETG as support material (don't forget to set the heatbed to 70 °C!) and PLA for the model itself (the support then come off much easier). For extra swag, use PLA support filament or PVA as supports.
• Recommended colorization is based on the Corey–Pauling–Koltun (CPK) palette (Figure 1). To quickly change colors, use the settings depicted in Figure 2.
  Alternatively, if you want to save filament and time, print the model in full-white and paint it with a permanent marker.
