 | Compound of Cube and Octahedron |
This is a compound of the cube and its dual, the
octahedron. It may be constructed using
Great Stella
in at least three different ways. As a stellation of the
cuboctahedron. As a faceting of the
rhombic dodecahedron. Or by adding either the
cube or the octahedron to its dual via the menu item
"Poly→Add Base Model and Dual".

As a stellation of the cuboctahedron, here are the stellation cells
exploded apart slightly. You can see the original cuboctahedron in
blue in the middle.

After printing out the main nets, I also printed out a bunch of squares
and triangles to glue into the base of each peak as shown.

|
The peaks are then glued together just like building a cuboctahedron.
