Customizable Hinged Polyhedra

pinshape

Printable models of each Platonic solid can be used for educational purposes. Each polyhedral net is designed to print fully assembled with hinges intact and then clicks together to form a Tetrahedron, Cube, Octahedron, Dodecahedron, or Icosahedron. The demo models are optimized for a Replicator 2 with .3mm layer resolution without raft or supports. You can adjust settings if you have a different printer or prefer different sizes using the Customizer to set your own size and tolerance values. This was the last big model series on MakerHome's print-something-every-day-for-a-year blog at http://makerhome.blogspot.com/.
