Swapping Hexagons for Pentagons
Added 2019-11-14 00:20:38 +0000 UTCI do love my hexagons! The folding phone stand and the box I posted immediately before it both had plenty of hexagonal holes for the sake of style alone, but the world cannot exist on hexagons alone! Most importantly, there's no regular polyhedron that has regular hexagon faces, and today I'm working in that direction.
The broad idea was to assemble a dodecahedral bowl from separately printed panels, and after some stylistic experimentation I've ended up with a kind of mesh-inspired design. Test printing is under way, and the next step is to refine the connectors that will let this these pieces be firmly formed into a bowl (or even a whole dodecahedron, crazy!)
