Make Your Own Platonic Icosahedron, Snap

Make Your Own Icosahedron Snap together vertex connectors and edges to form a Platonic icosahedron. To build an icosahedron, you need 12 vertex connectors and 30 edges. Once assembled, the structure consists of 20 equilateral triangle faces: V + F - E = 2. Among the Files Vertex connector in two levels of tolerance (regular and loose) Edge bars of various lengths Note Print one connector and one edge first to test the tolerance. A resolution of 0.2mm works well for me. Adjust the resolution to fine-tune the tightness between connectors and edges. If the loose version is too loose, use school glue to hold the pieces together. All Platonic icosahedra are identical. To create a larger one, simply use longer edges. Also, do not mix icosahedral edges with those for the dodecahedron, as they have different dihedral angles. Have fun building your icosahedron!
