Wireframe Rhombic Dodecahedral Sierpiński Octahedron Fractal Structure - Level 2

This model features a wireframe Rhombic Dodecahedron, designed in CAD and refined through an iterative process to form a Level 2 Sierpiński Octahedron fractal structure. It includes a seamlessly attached base and prints without requiring any support structures. The intricate design allows light to shine through in unique ways from different angles, including a circular pattern in the isometric view.

I've included a 3MF with all settings pre-configured to print the exact models seen in the photos. There is one file for each size.

If you like this model, I'm sure you'll love Level 3 of the series! You can find it here: https://www.printables.com/model/1140096-wireframe-rhombic-dodecahedral-sierpinski-octahedr

Print Settings:

Supports: None

Infill: The smaller sized model uses 100%, Rectilinear infill, and the larger size uses 10%, gyroid. (tweak this to your preference if needed)

Layer Height: 0.16mm with 0.2mm base layer

Brim: A brim is strongly recommended, but might not be required on the larger size model. I used one, though. Use a large inner and outer brim (I use 8mm though you can probably get away with a bit smaller if you wish)

Be careful when removing the brim—it requires some patience. Using a small pair of snips makes the process much easier.

Feel free to leave a comment or reach out if you have any questions—I’m here to help!

Have fun! 🥳
