The file 'Polydron Frameworks Collection 3D Printer Model' is (stl,3mf) file type, size is 8.0MB.
Polydron Frameworks is an open-frame version of the marvellous Original Polydron educational toy, and the types are compatible. After succeeding in creating custom pieces of the original (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6804599), the next logical step was to tackle Polydron Frameworks. The only guidelines that were available were the compatibility claim, as well as pictures on the web, which show that the mechanism differs from the original.
So, after a few iterations, we have here a collection of pieces similar to the Polydron range, with some additions:
The Frameworks pieces are slightly easier to assemble, especially when it comes to inserting the last panel in large polyhedron, like an icosahedron or maybe a triacontahedron, because you can access both sides of the joint, unlike the case with the solid (original) panels. And they use less material. But sometimes solid is good, too.
My personal preference is for a combination of types - they are compatible, after all.
And the most important thing is to have lots of pieces. More is better, it turns out.
