Make Your Own Platonic Octahedron, Snap

Make Your Own Platonic Octahedron Create a Platonic Octahedron using snap-together vertex connectors and edges. To build an octahedron, you'll need 6 (V) vertex connectors and 12 (E) edges. Once assembled, the structure will have 8 (F) equilateral triangle faces: V + F - E = 2. Among the Files Vertex connector at two levels of tolerance (regular and loose) Edge bars in various lengths Note: Please print one connector and one edge first to test the tolerance. A resolution of 0.2mm works well for me, but you can adjust it to fit your needs. As the structure takes shape, the angles between the V-connector and edges will become smaller. Toward the end, bend the structure slightly if necessary to align the edges with the slots. A pair of pliers might come in handy during this process. Remember not to mix octahedral edges with those for other Platonic solids, as they have distinct dihedral angles. Have fun building your Platonic Octahedron!
