truncated icosahedron and more

thingiverse

A truncated icosahedron (i.e. buckyball). Read about it here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truncated_icosahedron The point of this post is really to share a couple interesting websites I stumbled on that appear to be awesome at generating customizable OpenSCAD code that can be used to generate stl files for a huge variety of shapes such as the one I included here. The website used to generated the customized OpenSCAD code for the included stl model is: https://kitwallace.co.uk/3d/solid-index.xq?mode=index The next site illustrated what the various shapes look like (you can rotate them around on the webpage): http://dmccooey.com/polyhedra/ I imported the resulting .stl file from OpenSCAD into Fusion 360 to orient the model on the flat base for easy printing. Try Generating this or one of the many other shapes yourself and then make it into something interesting... Buckyball earrings perhaps?
