PLA-Tonix: Icosahedron
PLA-Tonix: Icosahedron
Published 2023-05-02T15:48:56+00:00
PLA-Tonix is a series of 3D printed Platonic solids that use hinges to open up and show cross sectional geometry.
The icosahedron comes with three cross sections, including: a nonagon, decagon, and a pentagon. The model was printed in PLA.
The solid is presupported with several pegs between cross sections, and a pair of small arch supports at the start of the pentagonal cross section. Just snip these with a pair of standard snips and gently break the hinge open.
I've attached pre-sliced G-code for the Ender 3 and Prusa Mini+. Both are sliced for 0.4mm nozzles, draft quality, with brims and for PLA.
Print the icosahedron according to the Cura reference image. This will print the hinges without the need for supports.
Scale down to 60% and use a brim.
