Polyhedra - Hinged Nets and Snap Tiles

UPDATE: The modular snap-tiles in this model have now been updated to a more consistent Customizer design where you can modify size, number of snaps, and tolerances; see http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:208591.

This entry for the Makerbot Academy Math Manipulative Challenge is a set of eight hinged polyhedral nets and five types of modular snap tiles for assembling various types of polyhedra.

Printability:
These models were all specifically built for and tested on the MakerBot Replicator 2. We stayed up late at night testing, resizing, and retesting all the hinges and snaps so that teachers won't have to! Each hinged net and snap tile is made to print as easily and quickly as possible at .3mm/Low resolution with the standard MakerWare settings, without raft or supports. The hinged nets print all on one piece, fully assembled and ready to fold up. The snap tiles print as individual pieces that are all compatible with each other.
