Buckoloid: Buckyball + Oloid

thingiverse

####Buckoloid (12/25/2021) =Buckyball+ Oloid I so love the oloid by Schatz and the buckyball by Fuller, especially their deep and yet playful thinking about mathematics and design that I decided to marry them in a playful design—the **Buckoloid**. It is a rich design project. The base circle for both the bucky ball and the oloid has the same radius (25 mm in the present STL files). A few versions are provided: a dodecahedron-oloid, a buckoloid, and a hinged buckoloid, which are all shelled (hollow) so one can use them as a container. The hinged version opens and closes like a clamshell and requires support when printing. It can be used to make interesting servings of ice cream if you like. Have fun! ####References 1. Schatz, P.
