Building toy connector ball

thingiverse

This thing connectors other things, namely stick things. Crazy Forts is a brand of stick and ball construction toy and I ran out of balls so I design a replacement. Note it is not exactly the same and using a standard geometrical shape (so it is not a trademark issue to share). The shape is technically rhombicuboctahedron allowing a very large number of combinations to build add. Holes have been added to the shape and may need a little reaming out fit perfectly, but I haven't had to do much at all. Printed in carbon fiber because I had some and like black. Something that polishes nicely would be a bit nicer. Also there are larger corners than in the original but everything functions similar. Basic geometry model was from Agustin Rossi at grabcad: https://grabcad.com/library/rhombicuboctahedron-2 All design work done in Autodesk Fusion 360 on a Macbook and printed on Kodama Trinus.
