Polyornament - Chamfered Truncated Icosahedron

thingiverse

This polyornament is a wireframe of a [Chamfered Truncated Icosahedron](http://dmccooey.com/polyhedra/ChamferedTruncatedIcosahedron.html). Put it on your desk or hang it as an ornament. The thicker wireframe version shown in the third through sixths images is optimized for FDM printing, and is free to download from this page. For model stability and strength we recommend low-resolution layer height (0.3mm) and high infill (50%). Created using RhinoPolyhedra and Grasshopper, thinned/thickened using Blender, and mesh-repaired with MakePrintable. Read about how to make models thicker or thinner at our Shapeways article [Tutorial Tuesday 34: Thickening 3D Models With Blender](https://www.shapeways.com/blog/archives/34286-tutorial-tuesday-34-thickening-3d-models-blender.html). The finer wireframe version shown in the first three images/[videos](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IMXEG5O3NHc) is optimized for SLS printing, and prints of this version can be purchased from Shapeways at our [geekhaus shop](https://www.shapeways.com/product/APA8TLW6Y/polyornament-chamfered-truncated-icosahedron). <iframe width="625" height="652" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen allowtransparency src="//www.shapeways.com/fragments/product?spin=APA8TLW6Y"></iframe> ===== #####Twitter: [twitter.com/mathgrrl](https://twitter.com/mathgrrl) #####Hacktastic blog: [www.mathgrrl.com/hacktastic](http://www.mathgrrl.com/hacktastic) #####Shapeways geekhaus store: [www.shapeways.com/shops/mathgrrl](https://www.shapeways.com/shops/mathgrrl) *This design and all associated pictures and files are licensed under the [Creative Commons Attribution Non-Commercial Share Alike](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/) license.
