The Six Platonic Solids

A 3d model of the famous ray-traced image, by James Arvo and David Kirk in 1987, showing the "The Six Platonic Solids", the classic five solids plus "the newly discovered Teapotahedron". The teapot is, of course, the famous Utah Teapot created in 1975 by early computer graphics researcher Martin Newell.

1st picture is my 3d print, 2nd is original ray-traced image (from Wikipedia), 3rd is a more modern rendering in 2007 by jtsiomb

I printed the solids on an Elegoo Mars Pro and the columns on a Prusa i3

Solids sprayed with Rustoleum Metallic Chrome, columns airbrushed and attempted to make a marble effect with stretched-out baby wipes - which I'm not completely happy with.
I guess it would be easier to paint 'em before gluing the top slabs on.

Base is a piece of clear acrylic back-sprayed in blue.

Solids are mounted using bits of 0.8mm stainless wire (actually safety locking wire) and drilling 1mm holes in the solids and columns. Once glued you can bend them to the right
