No-glue assembly polyhedron models - Kickstarter Feb 2021

Details on the following pages or links:

  • SVG - A4 sized SVG files for the models sets, should be possible to laser cut directly without needing to run the code

  • Assembly instructions - instructions for assembly of face and edge models

  • Code - instructions to access and use Python code to create SVG files for the models and variations

  • Related mathematics - mathematical and other tales relating to polyhedra from periodic updates during the kickstarter project

  • Decoration - methods tried for decorating the models

  • For sale - link to Etsy store for people not wishing/able to cut their own models you can buy model sets there

My first attempt at a kickstarter project for sets of no glue assembly polyhedron models ran during Feb/Mar 2021

There are model sets for the Platonic solids, a selection of Archimedean solids, a selection of Rhombic solids each in face or edge form. You can see the models and a brief idea of assembly in the video below, which was used as the opening video on the kickstarter page.

Images for these and other models also on instagram https://www.instagram.com/polymodig/ and twitter https://twitter.com/PolyMods

The project was unsuccessful in that it finished at just under 20% of its goal. These pages provide links and instructions for people wishing to create their own models.
