This is gorgeous. What sorcery did you use to be able to get them all to stick together so well? I’m jealous of your ingenuity.

No sorcery, just plastic and M3 screws. I designed the connectors in Fusion 360, and 3D printed them. Screws were hidden by using a second layer glued to the outside of each face. This specific shape was unique because I had to design 2 different connectors using different angles, where as the previous objects used one connector with potential multiple angles. It took a couple of tries with the Pentakis Dodecahedron to get it right. The other ones were much easier.

Very Impressive. Also this is yet another reminder that I should potentially invest in a 3D Printer, and that I should have paid more attention geometry class. Thank you for sharing, your work is inspiring and I’m envious of your skills.

Because Hexagons are the best-agons, any chance you’ll want to collaborate and do a hexagon version of this? what would that even be called?

I’ll look to see if there are any mostly hexagon polyhedrals that are available.

You cannot make a polyhedron out of hexagons, septagons, or any larger regular polygon alone. The reason is because their angles are too big. If you try to fit three hexagons together meeting a vertex, they are forced to lie in the same plane because their three 120° angles add up to a full 360°. The closest I can think of would be a truncated icosahedron, which has pentagonal and hexagonal faces. I’ve made a couple of these before.

Even if they did not cover every edge? Even a duodecahedron could be made of circles if you 3d printed the corners. A pumpkin like take of saddle curves could be very interesting though I guess you would need extra shapes along the way.
