The option on the left uses 3D printed connectors that are hidden inside and use screws to connect faces. The second one uses 3D printed borders that attach to each other without screws. I’m using these shapes as an example, and the one we do will be different. Which method would the group like to learn?

  • Internal connectors with screws
  • Border style

I voted for one but I’d love to see an overview of whichever one we don’t do the deep dive into.

What shape shall we make? Here are a few choices.

Truncated Cuboctahedron
Icosidodecahedron
Pentagonal Hexecontahedron

  • Icosidodecahedron
  • Pentagonal Hexecontahedron

The Truncated Cuboctahedron requires modeling 3 shapes, the Icosidodecahedron 2, and the Pentagonal Hexecontahedron has 1. However, the Pentagonal Hexecontahedron requires printing 60 face connectors and is probably the trickiest to assemble.
