I want to get an air plant and some more plants that I'm less likely to kill. I've also wanted to have a terrarium, so I decided to make one. I decided to make it a pentagon terrarium because I like geometric things and symmetric things. I decided that I would print all the sides separately and attach them in the end.
I made one side in inventor. I had to angle part of it so that when they all are connected they will have flush sides and not open corners.
I made an assembly to make sure that it would go together correctly.
I then started printing out the pieces.
Once I had all 11 sides (I'm leaving one side open) printed out, I taped them together to see how they would fit together.
I then designed a pentagon to go in the openings of the sides.
I cut these pentagons out of acrylic.
I taped everything together to make sure everything fit.
I put the acrylic pentagons into the sides using clear silicone.
