    is that two pyramids - base to base, attached to another base to base pyramid ?

    basically two of these, stuck together along one of the faces ?


    Also dimensions are determined by the slicer before you print. You can make them anything you like :-)
    Size of a model like this within a cad program is largely irrelevant.

    More pictures wouild be useful - not entirely sure of the shape.
    Is this close ?

    lol - geometry was never my strong suite.

    so you've got a square base with 8 triangles vertically mirrored to another 8 triangles and a square top ?

    Ah - do you perchance know the actual angles of those triangles ?
    That would probably help.

    Actually what I need is the width of the base of the trinagles and the height of the triangle from the centre line to the apex.
    That'll give me a proportionally corrext sized triangle. Which I can then rotate and tilt to make the actual shape.
    In theory anyway :-)

    I don’t know the actual degree of those angles but I can try to figure that out.

    So the base is a 3” x 3” square, and it is 6” tall. So I think all those angles should be an even 60 degrees?
