My Customized Convex Polyhedra

thingiverse

You're taking a custom model from Thingiverse, a platform where users can create and share digital designs. The thing ID is 233540, which represents the specific design you've chosen to customize. With this option, you can tweak various parameters to create a unique version of the original design. Using Customizer, a powerful tool on Thingiverse that allows you to personalize designs without modifying their original source code, you're in full control over how your final product turns out. As for the specific customization settings, we'll break them down one by one. polyhedron_type = 4: You've opted for the icosahedron, a type of polyhedron that features 20 triangular faces. The choice to select an icosahedron could have aesthetic or structural implications for your design. shell_percent = 30: The shell percent parameter determines how hollow or solid each section of the design is going to be. Here you're asking for about 30% of each part to be hollow. This value should provide a nice balance between material usage and desired durability in the end product. style = cutout: Lastly, selecting the "cutout" style will make your polyhedral model feature separate faces connected by a frame or shell of its own. Cutouts are particularly interesting when creating shapes that aren't entirely encasing the core element because they can highlight specific areas and improve their visual appeal through various cuts in design. Instructions: Follow these customization settings: 1) Make sure you have selected "Thing 233540" from Thingiverse. 2) Navigate to Thingiverse Customizer's interface (https://www.thingiverse.com/apps/customizer/run?thing_id=233540) 3) Modify the custom options listed above (polyhedron_type, shell_percent and style) to create your custom 3D print. Have fun with making things you can print.
