Diamond, Dodecahedron, Kawai Joint

thingiverse

A sparkling gem or, rather, a dodecahedron of 12 identical triangular faces, masterfully crafted for the modern era. It originates from the cube-based Kawai half-cube joint, a true marvel of design and innovation. Two precise copies come together to form a stunning diamond shape that is sure to captivate anyone who lays eyes on it. Additionally, it can be assembled with a half-cube to create an impressive nonahedron, a 9-faced polyhedron that boasts an undeniably unique name. As a desktop accessory, this dodecahedron exudes an undeniable charm and appeal, making it a perfect addition to any room. Its aesthetic value is sure to delight kids of all ages, and its simplicity makes it easy to print without the need for support or raft. So go ahead, have fun and unleash your creativity! Update: I recently shared this dodecahedron with a child, who instantly began spinning it between his fingers, marveling at its smooth motion. His insightful suggestion of creating a stand to prevent finger strain turned out to be a brilliant idea, proving that even the youngest minds can contribute valuable input!
