About this model

Based on our previous compliant soccer ball design, we've extended the range of these modular units, and have included connectors with more sides, and beams with a greater variety of lengths, letting you be even more expressive with your Polyflexahedra modules. The included files have options for 3, 4, 5, and 6-sided vertices, as well as edge pieces that vary from 25-70mm long. Printing Instructions Important! In order for the tolerances to be correct, this model needs to print at a higher vertical resolution: we recommend 0.08mm for the first layer, and 0.12mm for the remaining layers. Feel free to print different parts in different colors, or even print different layers in different colors, for some pretty cool effects!
