Internal Polypanels by Brien Allison

Description

This system has now been superceeded by a new design (again) Omnipanels. The second part of this polypanel system (the original system designed by Devin Montes). Combined with V3 Polypanels, these internal panels greatly strengthen structures and create new structural possibilities including honeycombs and cubic based frames. Internal panels use an extra 'snap' connector to join in the middle of a standard joint, thus connecting three panels around an edge. A fourth panel can be joined around an axis by attaching internal panels inbetween standard panels. Using different internal and standard panels together, a cubic frame structure can be constructed in any size and shape. The structure can be further reinforced with 'SJ' panels (Solid Joint/Centre Joint) which have extra connectors in the centre, combined with half panels for substantially stronger objects. There are also square and triangular brackets to locally reinforce polypanels. Internal Panel Types All the basic shapes including: Triangle, Square, Pentagon and Hexagon are included. The Triangle, Pentagon and Hexagon panels are available in four types, ordered by increasing strength: Open, Solid, Vopen and Vsolid. Square Panels There are five types of internal square panel: A, B, C, D, E. They are useful in different situations or used together in larger structures. All the square panels have an open and 'SJ' (Solid Joint) variant. The former is the standard open style of panel which is fast to print. The 'SJ' panels…
