Modified mRNA strand for Translation Modeling Activity by rforster2019

This is a modification of the mRNA strand for rforster2019's Translation Modeling Activity (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2946312). I chunked the mRNA strand into 3 sections so that it can be printed on a print bed with a 7" width. The center part has protrusions on either end that fit into holes in the left and right parts of the strand. I will be using Gorilla Glue's Clear Grip adhesive to permanently join the three parts after they are printed.

UPDATED PART --- I cut the end walls off the right and left sides of the Center mRNA clip file (new file name is "mRNA center - MODIFIED.stl"). This prevents there from being a double wall between the basepairs where the different sections of the strand are joined together.

This will definitely require adhesive as the rectangular nubs that fit into the holes are not super snug. I didn't want to make them too tight because they are rather thin and could break if they were forced to snap into place.

ANOTHER UPDATE --- I modified the clip again. Besides being 1/2 its original length, I also removed the little prongs because they just break off anyway. New file name for the clip is "mRNA clip - MODIFIED.stl"
