Make your own Icosidodecahedron

pubultrastar · February 28, 2019, 3:49pm

Attached you will find the STL file to 3D print the necessary internals for making a Icosidodecahedron like this. I have also included the generic SVG file. If you want to change the sizing of the shape, just know that the holes are 1/2" from the corners. It’s designed to work with M3 screws, but I’ve also use 6-32 with a bit of extra effort. If you don’t have access to a 3D Printer, you can buy these shapes here.

You need to print 30 of these for a Icosidodecahedron.

This is really kind of you to share your work with everyone - thanks so much. I have been wanting to make one and now I have no excuses left, hehe. Thanks!

Yeah, I’m too lazy to do the math, so I appreciate them too!

Thanks so much! I don’t have a 3D printer, but I just bought a set of the internals from the link. This should be really fun to make!

Thanks so much - wish I had a 3D printer.

Thank you so very much! Extremely generous share!

Thank you for sharing.

Testing my fits before lasering with wood, this design is cool!!

Very cool!

The engravings look great. Nice work!

This is beautiful! I bought a 3D printer specifically in mind for building these polyhedrons I also bought your pentakis dodecahedron. Maybe I’m missing something obvious, though, but where is the SVG for this one?

pubultrastar · August 23, 2019, 4:15am

I’ll check it tomorrow and worst case I can just send it to you.

You need to right click on the picture of the image and save as .svg

holly.j.dutton · August 23, 2019, 5:38pm

Ah, didn’t realize SVGs render in a web browser. Thanks

holly.j.dutton · August 23, 2019, 5:41pm

Deirdrebeth sorted me out I have the SVG for the one I bought. It’s the one here I was derp’ing over. Thanks!!

Be sure to post your finished polyhedral, of course…

I was on your etsy store and noticed your name has M2 in it. Is that because your 3D printer is a Makergear M2? I have and love the Makergear M3ID.

pubultrastar · December 30, 2019, 11:59pm

Good guess, but my initials are MM and that’s where the M2 comes from. I use a Lulzbot TAZ 6 Pro for my 3D printing.
