Pentagons and Dodecahedra! More Bolts!
Added 2020-03-15 09:40:35 +0000 UTCHey there, wonderful people, let's bolt more things together!
This addition to the bolted cube brings pentagons. The edge length and hole spacing is consistent with the square and hexagonal panels we already have, so there's plenty of scope to join things together.
Right now we have:
* Pentagon-to-rectangle corner pieces, for making pentagonal prisms with square sides.
* Pentagon-to-pentagons corner pieces, for making dodecahedra!
To make a dodecahedron you'll need:
* 12 pentagonal panels
* 60 bolts
* 20 dodecahedron corners
To build a pentagonal prism, you'll need:
* 2 pentagonal panels
* 5 square or rectangular panels
* 30 bolts
* 10 pentagon-to-rect corners
Next on the list is triangles, but I've painted myself into a corner a bit with the edge and hole size, which makes the corner connectors a bit tricky when the panels get small like that...
In the meantime, I hope you like dodecahedra as much as I do! 😁
(The files for all this are organised in folders under Bolted Cube as before)

And if you make a round one we will have Coronis Virus. :)
