Models of all 32 Crystal Classes (= crystallographic point groups) for teaching or practice. 

For single color printing simply do not use the accent files.

Here are some simple display stands for these models.

The spheres are 10 cm in diameter, so probably you'll want to scale them down. For FDM printing I would advise using the split models I provide, and glue the halves together (use rubber bands, the parts have a little key piece to help with alignment&orientation). The shown prints were done this way (50% scale). At 50%, using 10% infill, 2 bottom layers, automatic ("adaptive") variable layer height, and otherwise 0.15mm defaults, each of the spheres takes ~20g of filament. This makes them ideal to use up filament leftovers.
I found it doesn't make much difference visually whether you use 0.15 mm or adaptive layer height.
