Smaller Dod frame prototype with wooden dowels, each edge is 8”. Final edge length in brass will probably be 6”
Inside Penrose tiling
Hanging the cube! Each corner is connected to a corresponding vertex on the dodecahedron frame
First Dod frame, brass and 3D printed plastic vertex connectors. Each edge is 12” long
Cleaning and assembling brass rod and 3D printed connectors
Cleaning 3D printed vertex connectors. This was kind of gross, kind of fun and took longer than I’d like to admit. AMS were kind enough to rush my prints if I was willing to remove the filler material myself.
Penrose patches
First version of 3D printed vertex connectors for icosahedron and dodecahedron frames. Need to be scaled down significantly.
Bags of laser cut pieces!
Icosahedron vertex connector modeled in Rhino
Rhino model of dodecahedron vertex connector
Penrose process of creating jump rings and using them to connect the tiles
Laser cutting Penrose tiles
Three diameters of jump rings, I ended up using the smallest to connect the six chain panels to form the “edges” of the cube
Homer in chains
Coils of wire and cut jump rings
Turning chains into sheets
