2V Geodesic Dome Project

This is the design for plastic hubs to build an example 2V geodesic dome with wooden dowels.This makes for an approximate 56" diameter (4' 8"), useful as a fun project or an explanation of geometry.2V Bill of MaterialsedgesI started with bamboo dowels 3/8" x 17.5" (amazon - (100) 3/8" x 17.5" Inch Bamboo Dowels, $37 July 2024) and cut down the items that needed to be shorter.A: (30) 15.475in (15 3/8") (88.4%) - 15.86ºB: (35) 17.5" - 18ºverticesthese items are 3D printed and contained here(10) 4-way(5) BABB(5) BBAB(6) 5-way (AAAAA)(10) 6-way (ABBABB)DescriptionMy original starting point was the SCAD file Geodesic dome hubs by meirm on Thingiverse - i changed it quite drastically. I both abstracted the code to better support parametric modification, and change the design from minimal spikes to more puck-like. I used for reference this geodesic dome calculator. There are many on the internet. It has some nice diagrams. Beware, my A/B terminology is flip
