Detachable Ikosaeder Xmas Star

thingiverse

Here's a special craft for your holiday season. I utilized an LCD strip with RGB colors to create this unique piece. The new FiberFix Total Glue is highly recommended; it features a thin nozzle and blue light hardener, making it a must-have tool for any project. To assemble the craft, you'll need to print 20 beams - one top beam and one bottom beam, six short beams, and twelve long beams. Three beam snaps per beam will be required, resulting in three Ikosaeder snaps in total. Begin by gluing all of the beam snaps facing outward. Next, attach the bottom beam to the lower Ikosaeder and insert the LCD receiver downwards into the opening of the beam. Ensure that the beam opening is aligned with the attachment inside the Ikosaeder as seen in the rendering image. Fasten the control box to the Ikosaeder and tie a string to the top of the control box; make it long enough to reach the ceiling. Attach three long beams next to the bottom one, followed by alternating long and short beams in each slot. Repeat this process for the top Ikosaeder. Mount the top beam with the power cable facing opposite the bottom beam receiver. Verify that the short bottom beams face an upper long beam. Glue the three Ikosaeder snaps to the upper Ikosaeders, ensuring they're facing inward. Insert the control box string through the top of the top beam and insert a LCD strip loop into every beam before verifying it lights up. Connect the top and bottom Ikosaeders once you've confirmed everything is working properly.
