Tetrakis and Derived Solids: 3D Models to Print

This collection gathers STL files built around tetrakis polyhedra and other derived geometric solids, from paperweights and emblems to puzzles and pendants. It also includes a group of Templar-themed figures and tabletop pieces that appear alongside the geometry models. The set is useful if you want faceted, mathematically shaped objects for 3D printing rather than organic or mechanical parts. Polyzon does not confirm whether models are free, their price, license, official status, affiliation, safety or fitness. Check the current terms at the source.

«Tetrakis and Derived Solids: 3D Models to Print»

The geometry side of the collection covers tetrakis forms, truncated and snub variants, cubes and dodecahedra, often described as biscribed or non-chiral. Some entries are single solid shapes, while others are multi-part assemblies with a base, a light tube or a stand. Templar-themed entries are a different group: figures, helmets and modular terrain for tabletop games, usually split into several pieces.

When choosing a model, open the author's page and read the part count, the overall size and scale, and whether the geometry needs supports. Faceted solids with sharp overhangs often print better in a material that holds detail, and the author's listed layer height and wall settings matter more here than on simple shapes. Check photos of real prints to judge how clean the edges and vertices come out.

To widen the search, try related terms such as polyhedron, Archimedean solid, Catalan solid, dual, truncated or stellated, and combine them with paperweight, puzzle or keychain. For the themed items, terms like knight, crusader, helmet and wargame terrain lead to similar results. Adding a size or use word, for example desk or pendant, narrows the list further.

FAQ

Questions fréquentes

What is a tetrakis solid?
It is a polyhedron derived from another solid by replacing each face with a pyramid, which multiplies the number of triangular faces. In model titles you will also see related names such as truncated, snub or biscribed variants.
Do these geometric models need supports?
It depends on the orientation and the overhang angle. Many faceted solids can be placed on a flat face and printed without supports, but the author's page usually states what was used.
Can I scale a paperweight or pendant model?
Yes, but scaling changes wall thickness and the fit of any pins, holes or inserts. Check the dimensions the author lists before changing the size.
How do I find more models like these?
Search for polyhedron, derived solid or geometric paperweight, and add a use word such as puzzle, emblem or keychain. Related terms like dual or stellated also bring up comparable shapes.
