Remix of Dodecahedron Sponge Experiment
Description
Remix of Dodecahedron Sponge Experiment originally posted in April 2009 by Mathieu Glachant (syvwlch). Mathieu was a early Thingiverse user, and he posted the first topologically-generated designs on the Thingiverse, as well as several other firsts*. This was cutting-edge design work, especially considering the available technology and only an emerging understanding of overhangs and supports. Of the series he posted, I liked this one the best and thought it could be printed with today's 3D-printing technology (Prusa i3 MK3) using mostly defaults settings and some supports. For bed adhesion, I rotated the original model slightly (X = -1.7°) and cut 1.0 mm from the bottom. I also applied spray-on supports to the first/lowest overhangs. The uploaded STL file is the modified model I printed. Overall, it printed well. Some overhangs did need a little trimming and sanding. <br> *Other firsts include: Architectural structure: Gothic Nave Section - (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:139) Remix combining two exsiting things: Birdhouse Variant - Suction Cups to Affix to Window (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:208) Thin-layer design: Print Flat - Roll Into 3D, Heptagonal Column (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:482) - - - - - - I’m looking through the very early Thingiverse, noting firsts, developments, trends (e.g., first thing, stl file, toy, supports, print-in-place, etc). You can check my findings, comments, and progress on this [online spreadsheet](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1TMq7aM-aJiFcmDHrQuxYnWqeMQzZedH8). (I've completed my initial review of the first-year of things and am now checking and refining my initial findings.) For each noteworthy thing, I Like it and also add a Comment to its Thing page. If you find something noteworthy, please let me know, so I can update my spreadsheet. Or, just Like and Comment on it yourself.
