BIT

Hi! This time I've created a printable version of 'BIT', the first CGI character from the 1982 movie TRON. Check out the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_fGujzulsas. There are four figures/states with their stands: * NO: A red second stellation of an icosahedron * YES: A yellow octahedron * IDLE 1: A blue compound of an icosahedron and a dodecahedron * IDLE 2: A blue small triambic icosahedron **About the Files:** For easier printing, I've included some extra files: * bit_yes_layflat.stl: The octahedron lying flat on its face. You may need some infill to avoid gaps in the roof. * bit_no_half.stl: Print two of this and use superglue to create the full stellated icosahedron (no supports needed). Each stand fits perfectly with its corresponding figure. I used a small ball of Blu-tack to stick the stand and the figure, but a bit of superglue will also work. **Credits:** I used some OpenSCAD resources for the BIT states: * Polyhedra in OpenSCAD: http://kitwallace.co.uk/3d/solid-index.xq (Generate OpenSCAD files for lots of polyhedra) * The 59 stellations of an icosahedron (WRL format): http://www.georgehart.com/virtual-polyhedra/stellations-icosahedron-index.html * And one of the polyhedra found in https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:192584 See below for some printing tips. I hope you enjoy it! Have fun!
