Summary

This is a reproduction of "The Dana Set of Wooden Crystal Models" originally produced by Dr. Krantz Rheinisches Mineralien-Kontor (Bonn).

monoclinic: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5225493
orthorhombic: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5215966
hexagonal/trigonal: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5256241

I recreated the models based on reference images in "Dana's Textbook of Mineralogy" (https://archive.org/details/DanasTextbookOfMineralogy), with forms taken from the catalogue available here (provided by the company): https://mineralogy.eu/models/Krantz/Krantz_31_3.pdf

Whenever a model corresponds to a crystal structure, the known unit cell constants were used. In all other cases I approximated to match the pictures in Dana's book. Please note that I do not have an original set to compare, so there might be small differences. Also the scaling is arbitrary and probably totally different.

There's a labelled (by catalogue number) and unlabelled version. I also include the OpenScad file I used for embossing, in case somebody wants to adjust the labels.

Changes I made to correct apparent errors in the catalogue (to match Dana's book):
No. 179: {111} changed to {11-1}
No. 183: {301} changed to {-301}, added missing {010}
No. 185: {100} changed to {110}, {351} changed to {-331}

Big Thanks to Prof. Gervais Chapuis for making me aware of this set's existence and sending me his catalogue!
