Deltoidal Hexecontahedron Magnetic Tile

thingiverse

OpenSCAD deltoidal hexecontahedron tile with holes for magnets. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deltoidal_hexecontahedron You'll need 60 tiles and 4 disc magnets per tile, axially magnetized, which is a total of 240 magnets. I bought mine in bulk on eBay and used superglue to secure them in the tiles. See the User Defined Variables section of the OpenSCAD script for the parameters you can change - magnet holes and overall size of tile, four parameters in all. Or use the pre-built STL with 6mm diameter magnets. Not familiar with OpenSCAD? It's easy to obtain and use! Download it here: http://www.openscad.org After installation, open up the OpenSCAD file for this thing and hit F6 to render, or use the menu options at the top. File->Export as STL and take it to your slicer!
