Hedrons are ancient stone monoliths found throughout the plane of Zendikar. When properly aligned, hedrons become powerfull tools of binding. 1
This is my Hedron project. I've always wanted something iconic from Magic the Gathering to sit on my shelf of geeky staples ( you know the usual, Sonic screwdriver, T-Rex figure, Lady Deadpool figurine , etc etc. ) and with the release of the Battle for Zendikar block , I realized that the perfect object had been staring me in the face since October 2009.
I've seen some Hedron models before, but none of them were quite right to me, they got the patterns wrong , or just looked off in some way , so I set out to design my own , and this is the final result. Well these are the final result , because there are two variants here.
I started out by making a smaller Hedron that easily fits in the palm of your hand Such as this. But once I'd finished it , I realized that A) it was a tad small for display on my Geek shelf, and B) the spacing on the interior was just BARLEY enough to fit a 2032 Battery with two LEDs taped to it. So I scaled it up, and designed the larger version to have built in spots for 6 LEDs ( 4 in the center pieces and 2 on the battery holder holder ) , a AAA battery holder ( AA would probably fit as well I just had a AAA ) , and a switch so it could be turned on and off easily.
I couldn't be more happy with the final result.
The files contain both versions , the smaller Hedron ( STL files starting with Hedron ), and the Bigger Hedron ( STL files starting with BH ). The bigger hedron design includes STLs for a base for displaying the hedron , as well as a interior mounting piece for the switch , battery holder and two of the LEDs.
I hope you like my Hedron project! I'm happy to help with any questions as always!
--------- Update March 6 2016 ----------
Added a new Small side file ( BH_SideSmallRC_ButtonHole.stl ) that has a hole for a Self-locking switch 8 x 8mm ( http://www.dipmicro.com/store/SWITCH8X8B )
Added a new file ( BH_ButtonHolder.stl ) that will hold the switch in place if glued to the inside of the previously mentioned side piece.
Added a new files ( BH_BaseLarge_Magnets.stl ) & ( BH_BaseSmall_Magnets.stl ) with spots for 1/4" diameter rare earth magnets to be used to hold the pieces togeather instead of using the keyhole slots.
