Rhombic Triacontahedron

thingiverse

This Rhombic Triacontahedron model is designed for optimal printing on an SLA/resin machine like the Form2. Its delicate features push the limits of what can be printed on a resin printer, requiring steady and gentle hands to remove support material without breaking the model. For a sturdier version, try scaling it up to a larger size before printing. To print on an FDM/filament printer like the Ultimaker, simply double the size of the resin model or download our previous [thicker version](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:274427). Fun Facts about the Rhombic Triacontahedron: - It has 30 faces, 60 edges, and 32 vertices. - Each face is a unique "golden" rhombus shape. - One of the 13 Catalan solids. - Dual of the Icosidodecahedron. - Many different polyhedra can be formed from subsets of its vertices, including ten tetrahedra, five cubes, an icosahedron and a dodecahedron.
