Dodecahedron Planetarium // Folding Polyhedra

myminifactory

Bring the magic of space right into your home with this incredible Dodecahedron Planetarium! This is just one of many amazing folding prints in my Folding Polyhedra Pack, and it's an absolute blast to assemble. Simply print flat, fold, and snap together to reveal a stunning, three-dimensional model that will delight kids and adults alike! This download includes not one, not two, but three different versions of the dodecahedron - each one designed to be printed on your home 3D printer. Want to push the limits of your print bed? Print the entire unfolded dodecahedron in a single go! Or, if you're working with smaller space constraints, split it into two halves for an equally impressive model. And if that's still not possible, don't worry - I've got you covered with a third version where each individual face is printed separately. The best part? Each piece snaps together seamlessly, turning assembly into a fun and interactive puzzle. The inside of the dodecahedron even features small symbols to guide you through the process, making it a perfect activity for kids (and adults!) to enjoy together. To bring your Dodecahedron Planetarium to life, simply print at 100% infill using fresh PLA that won't be too brittle. I've personally used Fillamentum Vertigo Grey PLA with concentric external infill to achieve the stunning effect you see in these photos - but feel free to experiment with other materials and colors to make it your own. And don't worry about lighting - I haven't modeled a lighting assembly just yet, so for now, simply shine a light through the inside of the dodecahedron to spot the included constellations. Trust me, kids will love this part!
