Human: Gatorade Bottle Project: From Icosahedron to Dodecahedron, Platonic Duals Starting with an icosahedron and twenty Gatorade bottles or similar containers, we can create a massive dodecahedron model that showcases the profound duality between the icosahedron and the dodecahedron. If you want to start with a dodecahedron and twelve bottles, please refer to https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3814286 Note The icosahedron, with twenty equilateral triangular faces, closely resembles a sphere in shape. To accommodate a Gatorade bottle, it needs to be significantly large. Even at an extremely low layer thickness of 0.2mm and a mere 2% infill rate, it takes approximately eighteen hours and ninety meters of filament to complete. However, this leads to an impressive structure that is well worth the time and effort invested. So, if you really want to make it, be sure to maximize your return on investment: Make, Have Fun, and Share.
