Wireframe dome nuts.

This will allow you to print hubs for geodesic domes with flexible vertrice . you will need a t least 6 long flexible and bendable wires (I used stainless steel spring wire). Start with a V1 dome (use 12x pentahub) then add as many Vs as you want with additional hexahubs. The picture here shows a 2V dome.

* it is advised to make a little Z-shaped hook at the end so the wire doesn't come out too easily.
* full circles link the hexagon nuts. I used thinner wire, you have to calculate the dimensions yourself. I didn't solder or glue or do anything to close the loops into circles. for what I use is it's OK, but I would definitely solder for tougher use.
* With the given bending plan, there is only one (well, actually two since you can flip it over) way to assemble the wires
* I made the first prototype free hand, it didn't look too great (plus it suffered a lot through the Babs-test) so I advise you take a wooden board and nail in the reference points. if
