Hey Patrick—Sorry for the delay. I was sick for the past 2 weeks but I’m on the mend and back at the helm. LOL! Here’s the link to the plans for the 3D formbox plans on Thingiverse:

> **[New Waichulis Form Box - Full Size by Leahfw](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2652532)**
>
> The Waichulis Form Box is a learning device that contains several basic geometric solids, or ‘forms’, that can be configured in a variety of ways to compare and contrast the way light describes them.
> This project contains two files which are listed...

Leah recommended 3D hubs for printing. The link is lower on the above linked page but I’ll add it here as well:

Recommended Printing Service (United States):

> **[3D Printing Service | Order Custom 3D Prints Online | Hubs](https://www.hubs.com/3d-printing/)**
>
> Cost-competitive online 3D printing service. Upload a CAD for an instant 3D printing quote, order custom prints for prototyping & production in minutes.

Hmmmmmm… not sure that I can help with 3D hubs settings. Leah was the expert there. If you can find a standard white Field Hockey ball (which has a 2.75" or 2.8” diameter) for the sphere and a piece of white PVC pipe (3” diameter) cut to about 4” in length you don’t need those printed. I can see if I can find some old test prints of the other forms if you cannot acquire them via printing. Message me and let me know at your leisure.
