Like this! It's a screw-together icosahedral ball, and assembly is half the fun. It was a great puzzle to work out how to approach this and keep it printable without supports, and make sure the end result would be robust. Maybe I should do the other Platonic solids, too... So, you'll notice there's a test file in there, and it's simply one of the face corners. What I'd suggest is that you print five of those, along with a nut and bolt, and just test that your print assembles nicely. It's a quicky and easy way to get things perfect before printing all the major parts. For the whole ball, you'll need to print: * 20 faces * 12 nuts * 12 bolts Have fun!
