Like this! It's a screw-together icosahedral ball, and assembly is half the fun. Figuring out how to approach this and keep it printable without supports was a great puzzle to solve. Ensuring the end result would be robust was also key. You'll notice there's a test file in there, which is simply one of the face corners. Printing five of those, along with a nut and bolt, will help you test your print assembles nicely. This is a quick and easy way to get things perfect before printing all the major parts. To complete the whole ball, you'll need to print 20 faces, 12 nuts, and 12 bolts. Have fun!
