Polypanel bacteriophage inspired by polypanels from Make Everything YouTuber.
I used his original triangle polypanel and "PolyPanel2 Rectangle Half by 2" by Paul Corbett (added both here for convenience). I modelled the base, leg part and cut triangle where bacteriophage neck is connected. It's not super precise as I used Blender to extract snapping parts from the original model and make mine. But they printed well for me and assembled fine. I also recommend to attach cut triangles to the neck first and then attach the rest of the head. The phage turns out to be hollow and would be perfect for a lamp if anyone would want to make one. Supports aren't needed.
For the whole assembly one would need:
15 triangles
5 cut triangles
5 Rectangles
1 base
12 legs
