Polyhedral Light String Ornaments

pinshape

Geek out a string of lights with some fancy mathematical shapes! We'll keep adding polyhedra over the next week; the ones we have so far are: Snub Cube, Great Rhombicuboctahedron, Great Rhombicosidodecahedron, Dysdyakis Dodecahedron, Deltoidal Hexecontahedron. Each of these ornaments is a polyhedron that was exported from Mathematica and then stellated in TopMod. The holes were added in Tinkercad, so you can modify them yourself if your lights are a different size than mine: https://tinkercad.com/things/5... Later this week we'll write up the design path we used to make these, at http://www.mathgrrl.com/hackta... for printing at .3mm layer height with no supports. Because of the lack of supports, sometimes the bottom few layers and/or the top few layers don't print perfectly -- but it isn't really noticeable while the model is on a string of lights.
