{"product_id":"roman-dodecahedron-2-0-folding-flat-print","title":"Roman Dodecahedron 2.0 - Folding Flat Print","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is a major revision of my previous dodecahedron. Pegs are now threaded with ridges to keep them in place. Living hinges allow the panels to fold into shape and snap features lock them together. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOver 100 of these dodecahedrons have been found in Europe, mostly centered around France. Generally made of copper alloy and showing few signs of wear, they do not have an obvious explanation. Tool, toy, game, decorative object, superstitious cult object, or maybe even a test of skill for metalworkers to enter a guild have all been proposed. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTips:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAssembly: \u003c\/strong\u003eThe two halves align only one way, note picture. If a hinge breaks it can still be assembled successfully! The clips are a tight fit as needed for space constraints and to prevent the pegs from forcing the edges apart. If needed, gently file off a bit of material or try a few tiny droplets of oil. Scaling up will make the clips tougher snap together.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePegs: \u003c\/strong\u003ePrint 20x.
