About this 3D model

The Roman Dodecahedron is a curious puzzle, a strange object of which over 100 have been found, yet which have no contemporary mention to indicate what their function might have been. Many explanations for what they might have been have been proposed, but their purpose is still unknown. 3D printed models of these exist, but the shape isn't one that can be easily printed by a hobby filament deposition printer without a lot of awkward support material. This model is for parts which can be easily printed out on your home printer and then snapped together to make a reasonably accurate replica. The interior dimensions aren't accurate as I had to make space for the snap pins to hold the pieces together, but those probably aren't important to the item's function. The thru holes are clear and of accurate sizes, so you can still use this for holding candlesticks or tent pegs, or measuring distance by parallax, or as a form for knitting gloves, or whatever the actual function of these things was. I used the following dimensions when making these files: Edge length: 30mm Height without corner knobs: 66mm Height with corner knobs: 81mm Hole sizes: Face 1: 26.5mm Face 2: 15.4mm Face 3: 18.3mm Face 4: 13.4mm Face 5: 10.4mm Face 6: 17.6mm Face 1-prime: Ellipse 24.2mm x 25.1mm Face 2-prime: 20.15mm Face 3-prime: 8.7mm Face 4-prime: 14.5mm Face 5-prime: 20.6mm Face 6-prime: 14.2mm
