Football made from longdring straws

thingiverse

Ever wanted to create something massive with your 3D printer? Create a football or any other platonic solid from jumbo straws. For example, check out these 500-10,000 Jumbo Straws on eBay: https://www.ebay.de/itm/500-10-000-Jumbo-Trinkhalme-bzw-Strohhalme-schwarz-250-x-8-mm-fur-Cocktails/263285207912?hash=item3d4d057368:m:mFAVz7ilU0uajfA2ipKitwg To create a football, follow these steps: * You need 60 corners, so print the item six times. * The root of the joint is where six hexagons meet. * The branches of the joint form the angle needed for the pentagon. * The angle between the root and a branch forms the angle needed for the hexagon. For other solids like many of those documented on Wikipedia at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archimedean_solid, follow these steps: * Check out straweder.scad. * Enable the correct joint. * Print it enough times until the solid is complete. I'm looking forward to seeing your photos.
