Triangulated Bucky Ball, C60, Geodesic Dome In tribute to Prof. Buckminster Fuller, who educated at SIU Carbondale in the 1960s. The triangulated bucky ball is based on a truncated icosohedron. Each pentagon and hexagon face is extruded so that all vertices fall on the circumsphere of the bucky ball. The bucky ball features a circumsphere, two unique inspheres, and a midsphere. Tapered extrusions are based on angle calculations using these spheres as references (see below for specific formulas). Measurements in filenames refer to edge length of the pentagon or hexagon. Several versions are provided: 1) Whole solids 2) Shelled whole 3) Shelled halves They can be printed without support, though a bit of support at the bottom may improve look for lower faces. A raft is recommended for bed adhesion and stability. References 1. https://www.britannica.com/biography/R-Buckminster-Fuller 2. http://www.earth360.com/sci-c60.html 3.
