132-faced all-pentagon polyhedron

Post by wpthomps »

Robert,

On August 2, 2016 you shared a post on your RobertLovesPi.net blog titled "Three Polyhedra with Only Pentagonal Faces." Here's a URL to it:

I'd also like to create this polyhedron. To Robert and anybody else who's interested, what steps using Stella could one follow to create this 132-pentagon polyhedron?

Thank you for your time and assistance!

Seems to be a common mistake, but that page is by Robert Austin, who uses Stella, but this Stella forum and Stella itself are by me, Robert Webb.

So I'm not sure how he made that model, although you may be able to do it by creating a geodesic sphere from an icosahedron and then using faceting mode to create the final faces. But you'd have to experiment with it.
