About this 3D model

This is a design to print an octahedron and cube shape. It can be valuable for classes in crystallography to visualize the shape better. Crystals are used to help teach about symmetry. This shape is a physical maniuplative that can be used to help teach those concepts. This is a basically free alternative to the models that are available online which all cost well over $100 (https://www.miramodus.com/molecular-models/beevers-models/alphabetic-index.shtml). The blender file needs some fixing. However, the stl file is fixed with the help of netfabb and printable.
