These parts for a sphere. Additional parts need to be designed if you are making a dome.

UPDATE: I have corrected the pipe length formulas.

These are connectors for a 60 sided geodesic. There are 2 connectors, one has 5 spokes, the other 6. Each is cut in half to make printing easy without support material. They can be glued together with some CA super glue. I recommend putting some 4/40 bolts into the holes to align it while gluing.

The connectors are designed to insert into 1/2 inch PVC pipe. I have included the openscad file used to generate the STL files in case you need to modify them.

The 5 spoke connectors are 20 mm from the pipe end to the vertex, the 6 spoke connectors are 24 mm from the pipe end to the vertex. to calculate your pipe lengths, use these functions based on the radius.

Long members that connect 6 spoke to 6 spoke connectors

(radius * 0.7136442) - 48 mm
Since its a 6 spoke connector on each end, its
