Derived from
Sphere60 eiffel style
by Crab
Description
A simple derivative from Crab's excellent Eiffel-style sphere
thingiverse.com/thing:4609
How do you make a display stand for a sphere, or just stop it rolling around?
This is a shallow bowl, made from the same girder pieces as the sphere. To tidy up the edges, it uses a redesigned joiner.
Either make a concave bowl and place it on a stand, place it convex upwards and peg it in place, or just fasten it to the side and arm your Deathstar!

Instructions
First make one of Crab's spheres (thing 4609), or my own "starfish" derivative of it. Cut some extra girders too.
To make this dish, you need half of the joiners from this CDR file (only half!) and also some girders from the original sphere. You can make either 5-fold (top row of the drawing) or 6-fold symmetry (bottom row). 5-fold symmetry also needs 5 short girders and 5 long girders or 6-fold needs 3 long girders and 6 short ones.
Otherwise it's just like building the sphere, only smaller.
