Geodesic Dome Trellis

thingiverse

Geodesic Dome, usable as a decorative support for a house plant (or anything else you can come up with) Connectors are 3D-printed, struts need to be cut from 3mm barbecue skewers. Dome can be built to any size by adjusting the lengths of the struts. Largest diameter achievable with 17cm barbecue skewers (which is around the length mine have after cutting off the tip) should be 55cm. A PDF file with instructions is attached which contains some additional information: - Pre-calculated strut lengths and cutting templates for a few dome sizes - Formulas to calculate strut lenghts for any other size - Part counts for different dome sizes (1/2, 3/4, 7/8) - Assembly Struts should give a relatively tight fit in the connectors. If it is too tight, sand or scrape the strut ends down a little bit until they fit. If the fit is too lose, you can either glue the struts in if you don't mind a permanent connection or scale down the connectors by a few percent in your slicer.
