Tubes and connectors

Years ago, a friend and I thought about a system of small tubes and flexible joints to build Platonic and Archimedean solids.Unfortunately, at the time, the only way to get flexible joints was to have them injection molded, which requires a very expensive mold. Fortunately, we now have 3-d printing with flexible material. Basic recipe: clone the connector on plate 01 to a small number and print with TPU (use glue)print the test tubes on plate 08select the tube that best fits the connector; not to loose, but certainly not too tight.clear the single connector on plate 06; keep the plate selectedselect the connector on plate 08 that is your best fit and clone to a a number of your liking. The clones will appear on the selected plate.print the plate and check if the connectors fit in the tubes.then print the other connectorsIf you want the shorter tubes, repeat steps 2 to 6 with plates 09 and plate 07Not all solids do equally well. Obviously solids with only triangles are stable, the more-
