print it / Orbifact
This is one of my oiginal creations. Is a Variation of the Brain Gear. It transforms from a Sphere into a Rhombic Dodecahedron.
There is a decorated and a plain geometric version included in the download.
You need
12 Pieces
24 Pins
6 Connectors
You can also just print the "Orbifact" File, it has everything you need.
Print Settings
The Pieces/Gears could need a brim. No supports.
I recommend printing the pins with 100% infill make sure to do that if you scale the model.
Assembly
I made a Video about that. Watch the video

To tight.
Scale up the Connectors and reprint them at something like 102%.
