Polyhedron Pineapple

thingiverse

A Pineapple for Polyhedron Enthusiasts. This Unique Creation Is Made by Attaching Pyramidal Caps to Each Rectangular Face. The Core of the Pineapple is a Rhombicuboctahedron, Stretched Along the Z-Axis. The Leaves Are Slices of a Rhombicuboctahedron. Print Settings Printer Brand: LulzBot Printer: TAZ 5 Rafts: No Supports: No Resolution: Normal Notes: I Used Gold PLA (eSun) for the Fruit and Green PLA for the Leaves. Scale: Core - 50 mm on the Z-Axis Top and Bottom Rectangular Pyramids - Print 8 Total - 4 for the Top and 4 for the Bottom: 17.0 mm (x), 13.33 mm (y), 6.67 mm (z) Middle Section Rectangular Pyramids - Print 8 Total: 20.0 mm (x), 13.33 mm (y), 6.67 mm (z) Each Leaf is 37.5 mm for the Longest Axis (from Tip to Tip of the Top and Bottom Triangles). Print 9. Post-Printing I Use Tenax-7R to Join PLA, and It Works Quite Well. Note That the Rectangles on the Center Section of the Core Have Different Dimensions from the Rectangles at the Top and Bottom Sections. The Leaves at the Top Form a Ring of Six Sitting on the Square Face at the Top of the Fruit, with an Additional Three Leaves as an Upper Layer. They Are a Bit Tricky to Position Correctly, so Be Sure That the Lower Six Leaves Have Thoroughly Dried Before Attaching the Upper Three. I've Included a Photo Showing the Leaf Positioning as Viewed from the Top of the Pineapple. Glue Triangular Faces of the Leaves to the Top Square Face of the Fruit to Get That Effect.
