New procedures: C26 fullerene and splayed legs
Published on
Build a 78-board wooden C26 fullerene cage or a four-legged splayed table base from your own stock and dimensions, then ungroup into individual boards.
Two new parametric procedures are available in the library: a wooden C26 fullerene cage, and a four-legged splayed base. Pick your stock and dimensions, and each procedure calculates the compound miter and bevel cuts for every board.
The wooden C26 fullerene
A C26 fullerene closes twelve regular pentagons and three bent hexagons into a cage. Starting from a folded hexagonal base ring on the floor, the procedure works out every compound miter and bevel cut from your chosen board thickness, checks that mating bevels meet cleanly along each seam, and places all 78 boards.
Once the procedure places the cage on your workbench, click Ungroup in the Inspector to split it into 78 individual boards. Every board keeps its cut history and pose so you can inspect its angles, lay it on a saw, or add fasteners.
Where you take it from there is up to you! Playing around I made this design for a half-c26 tiny home with a loft:
Splayed legs
The splayed legs procedure builds four angled legs beneath a mounting panel from three inputs: footprint size, leg length, and splay angle. Like any library procedure, you can preview the result before adding it to your project or ungroup the legs to work on them individually.
