That is amazing!!! And you know it has to be really amazing if a University of Michigan grad says nice things about a gorgeous object, even when it is covered with Ohio State symbols!!!

The only change that could improve it is if it had Michigan’s Block M, a Wolverine and M go Blue instead of Ohio State stuff!!! :slight_smile:

You continue to make amazing things!!!

Being a University of Wisconsin grad, it’s tough to make something like this without a little hesitation. I thought about putting something like “Go Bucky!” or “OSU Sucks” engraved on the inside that no one would ever see, but figured I’d play nice and leave it be. I just know that the Rhombicosidodecahedron prototype I made for myself has more sides, so it must be better. On Wisconsin!

Ok, that is funny. I would so do that!

I’m a bulldog (UGA) living in gator (UF) land and I have finally started making things for my new friends. To keep the peace, I haven’t told my husband LOL.

It would be appropriate on a Buckyball?
Wondering when someone cuts one out of leather sews it together to actually play with?

OMG!!! Is there anyway that you would be willing to Sell the file for that? It would make the PERFECT Christmas gift for my dad. He went to OSU and we are ALL HUGE Buckeye fans.

I-O…It is sooo amazing.

If someone shares a print that they’ve made, please respect their sharing and do not ask for the source design or artwork. Designs take work and have value, and when you ask someone to give you that value for free, you undermine their work.

That was not my intentions and I apologize. I have edited my post to reflect this.

I’ve already posted the files to make your own icosidodecahedron in the laser designs section. Unfortunately, I can’t post the OSU logos for violating copyright. Just making one of these as a gift is probably crossing that ethical/legal line, but I got each one of these images by using google image search. I have lots of stuff in my personal collection that has imagery that I did not create, like Star Wars stuff especially, and I post images of the finished products, but cannot share/sell the designs. Here is the link to the shape to get you started:
