Re: A few pics

Hi Robin,

I am sure you can combine these with Stella by just adding the compounds as described below, but I let Robert answer that, since I am not familiar with Stella.

I uploaded a zip file (temporarily) on my own site with the two models shown:

Re: A few pics

Here I used the 6 | S4xI /D2xI version, there is also a version 6 | S4xI / C4xI where you have a rotational freedom. In that case I would use an angle that will evenly divide when adding the extra cube, i.e.mu=30 degrees.... Hmm, actually because to the classical compound of 3 cubes, one more is ad...

Re: A few pics

You can also put together 1, 3, 4, and 6 to get 14 cubes. This looks as follows: https://i.postimg.cc/LqqnSKGy/14-cubes.png In that case you will not be able to the the 15th of course Here I used the 6 | S4xI /D2xI version, there is also a version 6 | S4xI / C4xI where you have a rotational freedom....

Built Models of Compound Polyhedra

I thought we could gather models for compound polyhedra. I don't know why, but I like compound polyhedra and I built quite a few (well, relatively) of them. This is the latest one I built: https://i.postimg.cc/Q9JfVWKR/10-A-A5x-I-D3x-I.jpg It is referred to as 10A | A5xI / D3xI. I guess a 3D is quic...

Re: Heptagons

I finished the model. This time I succeeded. It's a relief that I succeeded this time. Apparently this was not my Nemesis. :wink: Here is a picture into an order 5 symmetry axis: https://i.postimg.cc/McBSXNZ7/A5-hepta-twister.jpg For my next project I am thinking to build a compound of 15 cubes. htt...

Re: Constructing models with transparent faces?

Yesterday evening I suddenly remembered that I made another model with transparent faces. One that isn't a polychoron. This one: http://tunnissen.eu/polyh/heptagons/pics/hepta.GD.A5xI.jpg It consists of equilateral heptagons that look like regular heptagons. I made this one transparent, because othe...

Re: Heptagons

Hi Ulrich Here is a zip-file with 24 examples of polyhedra that only consist of regular heptagons. I found more of these, but some are quite messy and I didn't include them here. I just noticed that one off-file of a model that I built is missing. I also found polyhedra that have other regular polyg...

Heptagons

Some of you might know that I am interested in heptagons. The background for this interest is that if you ignore polyhedra with prism and anti-prism symmetry then the heptagon forms the first gap of polygons for which there aren't any uniform polyhedra. Even if you look at the Johnson solids, where ...

Re: Constructing models with transparent faces?

What glue did you use? I found that it just peeled off later. Nothing fancy, really. In the picture below I show the glues I used. The Karlsons (yellow) is the one I used. Nowadays I use the other one (Casco, black). Cannot explain why, I just think it is a better glue. It did happens sometimes tha...
