Exploded Buckball

thingiverse

An exploded buckyball design involves creating a core segment along with 12 pentagonal and 20 hexagonal segments using the customizer. After generating these components, print the core part once, and the hexagonal and pentagonal parts in multiple quantities. Hollow printing of hexagonal and pentagonal segments will save time and plastic while allowing light to pass through. For proper functioning, ensure 15% infill for the core segment. Apply a glue blob in each hole of the core and insert the respective segments. Alternatively, you could design it to click together by enabling balls atop the pieces with precise tolerances.
