Ever wanted to create something big with your 3D printer ?

Create a football or any other platonic solid from longdring straws.

e.g. https://www.ebay.de/itm/500-10-000-Jumbo-Trinkhalme-bzw-Strohhalme-schwarz-250-x-8-mm-fur-Cocktails/263285207912?hash=item3d4d057368:m:mFAVz7ilU0uajfA2ipKitwg

In case of the Football these are the instructions

  • You need 60 corners, so print the item 6 times
  • The "root" of the joint is where 6 hexagons meet
  • the "branches" of ther joint form the angle needed for the pentagon
  • the angle between root and a branch form the angle needed for the hexagon

In case of many other solids documented @ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archimedean_solid :

  • look into straweder.scad
  • enable the correct joint
  • print it so often until the solid is complete

Looking forward to get photos
