Polyhedra construction set

prusaprinters

<p>This is a construction set for building polyhedra and other surfaces. Each piece is a flat polyhedron that can join to any other piece along each edge.</p> <p>Obviously you can print pieces as needed, but I recommend as a starter set:</p> <ul> <li>40 triangles</li> <li>24 squares</li> <li>12 pentagons<br/> This allows construction of all five Platonic solids as well as a variety of Archimedean, Johnson, or other solids.</li> </ul> <h3>Print instructions</h3><h3>Category: Construction Toys Print Settings</h3> <p><strong>Printer Brand:</strong> Prusa</p> <p><strong>Printer:</strong> <a href="http://amzn.to/2DxjZlB">i3 MK2S</a></p> <p><strong>Rafts:</strong> No</p> <p><strong>Supports:</strong> No</p> <p><strong>Notes:</strong></p> <p>Individual pieces print quickly, so I recommend printing a large collection on a single plate. The hinges involve narrow protrusions and mild overhangs, so bed adhesion can be a problem; perhaps one time in four a plate will have a problem. Although other plastics are stronger, I find PLA is easy to print, feels nice, and is strong enough.</p> <h3> How I Designed This</h3> <p>This object was designed in SpildPython, a python library that allows easy construction of OpenSCAD files. If you want to change any parameters, I strongly recommend going back to the Jupyter notebook I used to generate the objects.</p>
