Fractal Icosahedra

Human: Fractal Icosahedra Calculated by OpenSCAD.\nPrint Settings\nPrinter:\n Da Vinci 2.0 Duo\n \n Rafts:\n Can be Ignored\n \n Supports:\n Not Needed\n \n Notes:\n The "daughter" Icosahedra are Generated at Points Where Corners Share Corners with the "mother" Icosahedron. For Level 1 & 2, Two (Mother:Daugther) Ratios Were Tested: (1:0.5), a Solid Configuration, and (1:0.385), the Minimum Ratio Required for a Single Soloid Object. \nThe STL Files are Rotated to Display Flat Faces on Bottom, Resized to 50mm Radius. Refer to OpenSCAD Source Comments for Size Specifications and Rotation Angle Information. Microsoft Model Repair Service Used to Ensure Data Accuracy.\nThese Icosahedra Were Printed Using a Budget-Friendly FDM Printer (Da Vinci), but Facets Facing the Bottom Showcased Dirt at Fractal Levels Greater than 2. A Possible Solution Involves Dividing Solids in Half When Generated, Then Removing Supports and Gluing the Results - a Noticeable Improvement.\nThe Switch "Half" in OpenSCAD Source Controls This Behavior.
