Printing

• No supports needed
• Requires some precision for a nice part fit
• Use PETG or TPU for the links
• Use scrap PLA for the node connectors

Options

• Four node connector shapes (triangle, square, pentagon, hexagon)
• Six link lengths (4, 6, 8, 10, 20, 30 notch)
• Trimmable Link - Designed to be cut down to a desired length

Tips

• Links need to be able to bend - PETG and TPU is recommended.
• For shorter links (4 & 6 notch), TPU works best.
• If node ports are too tight, use a flat head screwdriver to widen them slightly.

Common Shapes

• Tetrahedron - 4 nodes, 6 links
• Octahedron - 6 nodes, 12 links
• Cube - 8 nodes, 12 links
• Dodecahedron - 20 nodes, 30 links
• Icosahedron - 12 nodes, 30 links
