Really Big Sphere Football Soccer Ball 3D-Jigsaw

thingiverse

Print a really big sphere/ball by printing it in 32 separate parts: 20 x hexagon parts plus 12 x pentagon parts. Only two part files needed. Both parts have been given a FLAT base to simplify printing. To make the largest sphere possible, simply scale the hexagonal part to the largest size that your printer can handle, then scale the pentagonal part by the same ratio. Print 20 hexagonal parts and 12 pentagonal parts and assemble using glue in a typical soccer ball pattern. Does not need to be printed; if you like, you can just download the two parts and use them to practice your assembling skills in the software of your choice. Parts have been uploaded in four formats - STL, SLDPRT, STEP and Parasolid(x_t).
