Description

This is an implementation of a Bucky Fuller JitterBug.  Buckminster Fuller (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buckminster_Fuller) designed this construction as part of his Synergetics studies. 

The connectors can be finicky to print (and assemble), but rubberbands can be used instead. The model was designed in OnShape (a browser base CAD system) and the project document is public (https://cad.onshape.com/documents/9531448dfddd802cbd59f9ab)

This prints really nicely on Bambu P1S, thanks so much!
Would it be possible for you to slice a small bit off the connectors so that they have 2 flat bits and are symmetrical? Then it will fold up nicely in the clockwise and anticlockwise directions
