Soccer Ball, Foldable Dodecahedron, Using Flexible Filament
Description
####Soccer Ball, Foldable Dodecahedron, Using Flexible Filament **Update: Added third version upon request** **About 50mm in diameter** ** A marble or a small object could be locked inside if so desired.** It takes 12 regular pentagons to make a Platonic dodecahedron, which can be flattened in multiple ways for a net. In this design, I used a net that could be fit easily on a small bed: A star shape plus an extra pentagon. It can be fit on a 140mm x 140 mm bed, up for some rotation or x-y translating, which is usually automatic. To allow for visual and playful manipulation, I added some pentagonal wedges (10mm and 2mm, respectively). The whole net can be printed well in one piece. Further, I added some connectors so that the net can be locked up in a soccer ball, if so desired. Have fun with “making and sharing!” ####Three Versions 1. Foldable dodecahedron without connectors. 2. Foldable dodecahedron with connectors. 3. Foldable Stellated dodecahedron with connectors
