That thing in the Robo3D R2 Ads
Description
I Bought A Robo3D R2 Printer, And In All The Pictures, It Had This Solid On The Print Bed. I Was Hoping That It'D Be A Sample Print Included With The Printer. It Wasn'T. So, I Spent A Lot Of Times Squinting At The Picture, Counting Faces And Observing The Shape Of The Faces, And Eventually Determined That It'S A Rhobic Enneacontahedron (Wire Frame) (Wikipedia: Https://En.Wikipedia.Org/Wiki/Rhombic_Enneacontahedron), Which Basically Means A 90-Faced Solid Where Each Face Is A Rhombus (4 Sided Equilateral Polygon). In This Case, Two Different Sizes Of Rhombii. I Went On To Discover A Scad Generator At Http://Kitwallace.Co.Uk/3D/Solid-Index.Xq?Id=Rhombicenneacontahedron&Mode=Solid Which Is Where I Got The Scad File From. Which Leaves Printing In A Way That Works. The Item Pictured, Printed At Reduced Speed And Highest Resolution Available On The Printer Took 19 Hours, But Printing At Lower Resolution Produced Something In About 5 (Albeit With Issues). Still Waiting On A Weekend To Blow Off To Print A Full-Sized One (190Mm) As We See In The Promotional Pictures.
