Sliceform Sphere

About 25 years ago I met John Sharp and was introduced to Sliceforms. I have made many paper and card sliceforms since, so when I bought a 3D printer they seemed a good thing to make.

The sphere has five different pieces. You need to print:

2 of 1.2 sphere 0

4 of 1.2 sphere 1

4 of 1.2 sphere 2

4 of 1.2 sphere 3

4 of 1.2 sphere 4

Obviously, because of the thickness of the print, the shape does not squash as flat as a paper model would but it is very tactile and makes nice noises.
