Bubble Blocks #3Dprinting #3DThursday

Bubble Blocks by DaveMakesStuff Thingiverse

DaveMakesStuff shared this project on Thingiverse!

These “Bubble Blocks” are formed using the “Weaire–Phelan structure,” the most mathematically efficient way for equal-sized bubbles to fit together to make foam.

The structure is made up of two pentagonal dodecahedra (12-sided) and six tetrakaidecahedra (14-sided) that form a translation unit with a lattice periodicity which is simple cubic. In crystallography, this structure is also known as the A15 Frank-Kasper phase.
