#### Dodecahedral Joint / Connector for 3D Spool Reuse
With 3D printing, we end up with a lot of spools. As a STEM educator, I have for long wondered how to play with the 3D filament spools before recycling them. Yes, kids might make a big toy car. However, I wanted to build something more mathematically appealing.
Here is a dodecaheral joint or connector, with the right dihedral angle, that can be used to build a huge dodecahedron using 12 spools. Most spools have a flange with
