Ancient Greeks knew about them; the Platonic Solids are fascinating.
You can read all about them here:  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Platonic_solid

These 5 models are the Safe version of the Kleetope shapes of the Platonic Solids.
See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kleetope

The Kleetope shapes are very pointy. They are dangerous. This "Safe" version has a sphere at the end of each point to protect you. This "Safe" version also has the side benefit of looking nice.

To print use the *.3mf files or If you want to invent your own method to print I suggest you start with these steps:

  1. scale 2000%

  2. rotate to print on a face, edge, or vertex

  3. use paint on supports

The OpenSCAD source file is included.
