Make Your Own Platonic Icosahedron, Snap

cults3d

Make Your Own Icosahedron Snap together vertex connectors and edges to create a Platonic icosahedron. For an icosahedron, you need 12 vertex connectors and 30 edges. Once assembled, the structure has 20 equilateral triangle faces: V + F - E = 2. Among the Files Vertex connector at 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. You can adjust the tightness between the vertex connector and the edge by changing the resolution. If the loose version is too loose, some school glue might be needed to keep the pieces together. All Platonic icosahedra are similar, so if you want a large one, you could simply use longer edges. Please do not mix icosahedral edges with those for the dodecahedron, as they have different dihedral angles. Have fun building!
