Time for a polyhedron, it’s been a minute.
Not much more that I haven’t said about geometric projects before, but a few quick facts and stats:
This is a variant on a truncated icosahedron. It probably has some crazy name but I can’t say for sure what notation is correct for the symmetry.
No glue.
3mm Baltic Birch ply.
180 connectors, 450 arcs. 630 total pieces.
Cuts on about 1.5 full 12x20 sheets, takes about an hour and a half of total cutting.
Assembly is tough on your thumbs, I wore lightweight gloves for a good bit of the process and they still ache. We suffer for our art I suppose
As always, these creatures throw excellent shadows.
