Roman Dodecahedron - Folding Flat Print
Description
This is a major revision of my previous dodecahedron. Pegs are now threaded with ridges to keep them in place. Living hinges allow the panels to fold into shape and snap features lock them together. Over 100 of these dodecahedrons have been found throughout Europe. Generally made of copper alloy and showing few signs of wear, they do not have an obvious explanation. Tool, toy, game, decorative object, superstitious cult object, or maybe even a test of skill for metalworkers to enter a guild have all been proposed. <b>Tips:</b> + Alignment: The two halves align only one way, note picture + Print Bed: Clean for best results. As all external faces were touching the print bed, this would be a GREAT use of a textured or holographic surface. + Pegs: Print 20x. Consider adaptive layer heights. Note small cross section and print accordingly. + Material Selection: I used PLA, but other plastics may work better with the living hinge + Color Restoration: Gentle heat gun on the living hinges may restore original color.
