DIY: Help and instructions<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On this page you will find some instructions and help to print my designs, identify, place and fix all different printed parts on the wall or on a frame. Also discover the originality of using multi-colored filament on this type of polygonal designs. Finally For those wishing to create their own design, a video tutorial explains (in French) the method I use with Fusion 360.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Print Models<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Models are made up of several parts, allowing them to be printed with a standard-size printer, to produce large-sized models.
Generally, all parts, without any scale changes, can be printed on a printer with a 22x22cm bed. (Check the largest parts with your slicer before you start printing the model<\/em>).
Adjust the print scale according to your printer's capabilities and the desired final size of the model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The files provided are .stl files that you can retrieve from your favorite 3D file sharing platforms<\/a> .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Models can be printed using PLA, PETG, resin etc\u2026 the settings depend mainly on the desired finish quality and your printer. It is generally not necessary to apply a large infill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Note that the use of bicolor or tricolor filament <\/a>gives a particularly interesting rendering when used on polygons. The use of shiny filament is also a good option which allows to generate a multitude of light reflections on the polygons and thus animates the design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Identify parts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n

The parts are numbered on the back and a pdf plan with the positioning of the parts is provided for each model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you print the parts at a small scale, the numbers may not be visible\u2026<\/em> in this case, be sure to renumber the parts as soon as they are printed.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>

Place parts on wall or frame<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To position and assemble the pieces, you can use a video projector, a \u201cpaper mask\u201d (printable template) or use your freehand feeling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
