Modern Elements
thingiverse
This C60 buckyball lamp features unique facets that shade the bulb when viewed directly but stay transparent otherwise, offering a subtle effect. The initial design had issues such as weak hinges and supports for inner panels, prompting an updated version (modern_pentagon_revised, modern_hexagon_revised, baffel_revised). Tested pieces reveal improvements in strength and ease of assembly, but unexpected problems might arise. Users can tweak parameters in the .scad file. To assemble, print 12 pentagons and 19 hexagons, clean hinges, and follow a step-by-step process to complete the geodesic sphere using a commercial CFL light bulb. Be mindful of hinge clearance issues and make necessary adjustments for seamless assembly.
