Hubs for Geodesic Dome #3DThursday #3DPrinting

ekatarios shares:

Hubs for geodesic dome of 20 mm diameter polypropylene pipes.

Redesigned the idea of hubs for my needs. The estimated diameter of the dome is 5 m. Due to the weight of pipes, they are not held in the fixtures, so I had to make frames for them. Locks prevents the frame from flattening under its weight.

2 types of hubs (see Geodesic dome calculator: http://acidome.ru/lab/calc/#1/2_Piped_D100_2V_R2.5_beams_20x20):

5-terminal (orange)
6-terminal (green) – the location of type B pipes is marked with a notch.
The project is not finished yet! (I’m waiting for summer to assemble it)

Every Thursday is #3dthursday here at Adafruit! The DIY 3D printing community has passion and dedication for making solid objects from digital models. Recently, we have noticed electronics projects integrated with 3D printed enclosures, brackets, and sculptures, so each Thursday we celebrate and highlight these bold pioneers!

Have you considered building a 3D project around an Arduino or other microcontroller? How about printing a bracket to mount your Raspberry Pi to the back of your HD monitor? And don’t forget the countless LED projects that are possible when you are modeling your projects in 3D!
