 Meghan: showed image of trimer 3D print for museum. Switched to epoxy instead of cyanoacrylate, is stronger. Still was hard to make it hold together, had to put white cylinder through the middle. Tom G: try ChimeraX tube helices. Could also make coil fatter. 
 
-We should collaborate on a 3D print bundle for ChimeraX that adds custom presets with the settings that Phil likes. TomG and Scooter: should also make simpler Toolshed tutorials like one just for presets, and encourage more people to deposit their favorites.  Elaine: analogous to COLOURlovers for palettes.

-Meghan and Phil: could something malicious be placed in a ChimeraX session, and if so can we scan to check for them? Greg: .cxs is pure data like JSON but a custom bundle could execute the data.  None of our bundles do that, but a 3rd-party one could.  Another possibility is buffer overflow bug.  Neither of those would be identified by scanning the session file. Meghan: We could have a repository of session files with DOIs at NIH 3D.

+- Possible Repository of ChimeraX !Models/Sessions at NIH3D:
+
+Meghan: Maybe we could have a repository of GLBs and/or ChimeraX session files at NIH 3D, with DOIs.  Eric: Chimera has publish to sketchfab, maybe ChimeraX could have an analogous menu entry to publish to NIH3D. We don't know how much use this sketchfab thing has gotten. TomG: it involves a token, sends COLLADA. ChimeraX doesn't (yet) export COLLADA but we can add that if you need it and let us know. Elaine: are you worried about people sending you lots of junk that never gets used?  Meghan, Phil: somewhat...  
+
+Eric: let's have the publish-to-NIH3D stuff in a bundle, then only people with real intent to use it will get it.  That will prevent at least some of the random "what's this option? let me try it" junk.
+
+Back to avoiding malicious code: TomG: we should add a way to scan for what bundles are referenced by a session file, and list them, or all nonstandard ones.  Greg, Scooter: with option to ignore nonstandard bundles when loading a session.
+Eric: may not want to sanitize bundles against all 3rd-party bundles, e.g. ISOLDE may be important for published data with sessions.
+
+Meghan: also need to consider selective permissions on data in the repository, e.g. people could only allow certain other people or themselves to access their data.
+
+- AlphaFold update:
+
+TomG: ChimeraX daily build now also interfaces to !AlphaFold-Multimer for complexes (on Google Colab) although it's only possible for fairly small complexes.  Has tutorial & video.  ~800 residues in this complex, 5 hrs on Google Colab, ~2hrs on Wynton.
