Corner Joint for Dodecahedron

thingiverse

This is a corner joint used to create a standard dodecahedron (12 pentagons) from 3/4 inch PVC pipe. If you require a hole diameter different than 27.2 mm, simply scale the design accordingly. For instance, so-called "1/2-inch" pipe necessitates scaling by 80%. To produce an entire dodecahedron, you will need twenty of these corner joints. At full size, that equates to over a kilogram of filament, depending on your slicer settings. You will also require thirty equal sections of pipe. This project was an exercise in Fusion360 as I continue learning the software. The rendering was created using Blender software. 13 January 2019: A new version has been uploaded which should result in stronger joints.
