This is a series of fractals made from an iterated spherical tiling of rhombic dodecahedra. In this series, an S0 is just a single rhodec. S1 would be the 12 that form the shell around 0. S2 is where the series gets interesting, and is the first model. It includes all non-vertex, non-edge bodies and all face bodies not on the border. For lager iterations, the S1 is always omitted. For even iterations, the S2 is always omitted. To stitch the faces together, solid rhodecs fill every other slot along the vertex axis. I never said I was good at explaining things. Just look at the models…
Anyway, I did this project because:
- The Rhombic Dodecahedron is one of my favorite shapes. Yea, I'm a nerd who has a favorite shape.
- @EndlessDesignLa is an inspiration and made me want to play with OnShape. This is what happens when I play with OnShape too long.
- I had trouble printing this initially. So I became determined. These models come with built-in supports to make it happen. So I won and my P1S lost.
Make certain you use the profile as-is. If you're going to mess with it:
- Don't change the support Strength settings. They are set to 1wall/2toplayer/0bottom/0infill for a reason. Heavier supports WILL break some of the edges.
- Don't mess with layer heights. The supports and brim are designed for 0.16mm layer heights. If you would like to print these at 0.12 or 0.08, I can post another profile.
I doubt anyone is going to spend the week it takes to print the whole series. I got distracted after 10, resulting in a 60cm/2' tower of geometric goodness. Please share any makes. This is my first real project with CAD and my printer, so I'm a little jazzed at the results.
All models were printed using Chitu Conjure Tri-Color Silk (red/purple/gold, blue/purple/black, red/blue/green, and red/blue/yellow). It's good stuff.
