Multi-part stellated icosahedron

prusaprinters

<p>This is a stellated icosahedron that prints in parts. You print both parts twice and then assemble the results. There are modeled in holes for dowels to lock the parts in place. I used a machine screw for final assembly. In the photo, you can see the 4 parts printed in 4 different PLA colors.</p> <p>Growing up, My Dad would make one of these out of soda straws each Christmas. There is a photo of one of them included above.</p> <p> <figure class="media"> <oembed url="https://youtu.be/NjdGWFUaiHE"></oembed> </figure> </p> <h3>Print Settings</h3> <p><strong>Printer Brand:</strong></p> <p>PrintrBot</p> <p class="detail-setting printer"><strong>Printer: </strong> <div><p>Printrbot Simple Metal</p></div> <p><strong>Rafts:</strong></p> <p>Yes</p> <p class="detail-setting supports"><strong>Supports: </strong> <div><p>No</p></div> <p><strong>Infill:</strong></p> <p>20%</p> <p><br/> <p class="detail-setting notes"><strong>Notes: </strong></p> </p><div><p>I had the best luck printing this on a raft. You need to print two of each part and then screw it all together. If you have a large build plate, you could print all 4 parts at once.</p></div> </p></p> Category: Math Art
