Computer files based on this continuing work-study are provided below, cost free for personal use. A print shop service did produce pretty good print alignment for inside and outside of this dodecahedron , printed on 2X letter card stock, (11”X17” sheet). It was then roughly cut with scissors and blade. A computer-controlled cutting-machine-service was not found locally, but reasonably priced, manually-operated circle cutters might be tried on the card stock.
This rendition provided some preference to enlarge the holes, to allow better internal visibility, in the next updating of print files.
All 3d work was done in formZ 10 and with Rhino 7 used only for checking export compatibility of 3d files, because 3d conventions are also continually updating and therefore changing or adjusting in some manner.
2d Alighted Printing From JPGS: Twice the letter size images are provided below for printing. Use the displayed jpgs for printing. (Card stock is recommended and the print shop aligned both sides adequately).
Note that tiny dots appear at circle centers, in full sized display of these images and full sized prints, to center a circle cutter device. Use of scissors was adequate in several trials.
Note: All of the following file-links below are operable only in special apps for 3d-outputs and that further updates should ultimately replace these files for improved formatting and updated 3d conventions for presentations.
“Fly-Through-Navigation” and Simple Projection:
TwelveEssentialQualities-Rhino7.stp (9.65 MB) (May Need display adjustments, but might be more supported than obj file as an alternative).
For interactive 3d and not formatted for printing:
Above file is worded inside & out, for 3d navigation only (like VR). Theoretically, 3d and 2d files could enable large room, luminous projection directly form 3d app or derived into projections of stills or as a video.
