26 Point 3D Star

myminifactory

This is a 26 point star. The points clip together without glue. As the star is completely hollow it can be easily illuminated. For a complete star you need to print 18 of the long points and 8 of the short ones. The STLs in the download are sized to produce a ca. 20cm diameter star. Assembly is nothing for the impatient, as you close up the star it gets harder to clip together the pieces. What helps is a pair of angled tweezers/pliers. Also, if you clip/unclip each interface once before, it goes together more easily the second time. The assembly starts with a ring of four of the long tips. Then add a half sphere to one side by alternating between short and long tips. This pattern then gets mirrored to the opposite side. Check the pictures for some hints. Happy Making.
