Bucky Peanut / Turtle Boat

The local science center (TSC) is in need of some little boats for its river model. Having printed some common boats, I decided to integrate some Bucky ball features into a boat. It turns out to be a pretty shape, appealing to children. Some called it a "peanut;" others thought it looks like a "turtle." Hence the names.

The triangular grooves are present both inside and outside. Two halves can be glued together for a whole consisting of two interlocking spheres (one is flattened 50% in one dimension).

The sphere has a diameter of 100 mm by default. It measures 176 mm x 100 mm x 50 mm. Please feel free to scale it down to 50-80% for a small version.
