Dürer's Solid (60°)

Description

For More Information See: [Melencolia I](Https://En.Wikipedia.Org/Wiki/Melencolia_I) [Truncated Triangular Trapezohedron: Dürer'S Solid](Https://En.Wikipedia.Org/Wiki/Truncated_Triangular_Trapezohedron#D.C3.Bcrer.27S_Solid) [Mathworld: Dürer'S Solid](Http://Mathworld.Wolfram.Com/Duererssolid.Html) As The Above Articles Suggest, There Is Some Disagreement Around The Exact Form That Dürer'S Solid Takes, With A General Agreement That The Acute Angle Of The Rhomboid Face Is Between 72° And 82°. For Me, However, The Solid So Defined Lacks Some Elegance. My Version Of Dürer'S Solid Uses An Angle Of 60°, And Results In A Shape Made Of Equilateral Triangles. The Contrast Between The Two Solids Is Most Easily Seen When The 'Flat Pack' Versions Are Compared. I Acknowledge That The 60° Version Does Not Match The Object In 'Melencolia I' Very Well, But I Think It'S A 'Purer' Object. I Wonder What Dürer Would Think Of It? Use Customizer To Scale Your Version To The Size You'D Like. For Comparison, See My [Dürer'S Solid (72°)](Http://Www.Thingiverse.Com/Thing:582745)
