Geodesic Dome Wire Bending Jigs - STL Files

$0.00

These are the 3D printable jigs I designed to make the three-frequency geodesic dome air planter!

Includes four (4) .STL files:

  • “BCC” wire bending jig (to make triangles that form hexagon panels)

  • Hexagon panel jig

  • “BAA” wire bending jig (to make triangles that form pentagon panels)

  • Pentagon panel jig

“BCC” and “BAA” refers to triangle side lengths as shown here.

These jigs create a dome about 12 inches in diameter, but if each .STL file is scaled by a uniform factor, different sizes of domes can be made.

For my geodesic dome, I used 14 gauge galvanized steel wire (affiliate link).

I used hot glue to attach the triangles , but you could also assemble the dome with brazing, welding, twisted wire, 3D printed connectors, etc.

For personal use only.
