rhombic dodecahedral 3d models

Coffin described this puzzle: "It has the same assembled shape as _Nova #8_ - the second stellation of the rhombic dodecahedron. With six dissimilar non-symmetrical pieces, it becomes a true puzzle." There are two distinct solutions; see if you can...

This innovative puzzle consists of six identical pieces, each with unique color permutations, that assemble into an intricate star-like shape with first stellation of the rhombic dodecahedron geometry. The interlocking mechanism was not invented by...

Coffin wrote:"The six identical pieces mesh together easily in two identical subassemblies to form what is known by geometers as the third and final stellation of the rhombic dodecahedron. It is really more of a polyhedral sculpture than a puzzle,...

......The essential puzzle mechanism is the same, though Nova has an especially striking appearance: mathematically, the assembled Sirius has the shape of the first stellation of the rhombic dodecahedron, while Nova has the shape of the second stellation.

All three use the same essential assembly mechanism, but with increasingly rich ornamentation: mathematically, _Sirius_ has the shape of the first stellation of the rhombic dodecahedron, _Nova_ the second stellation, and _Starlight_ the third. If...

# The Yoshimoto Double Cube [The Yoshimoto Cube](http://www1.ttcn.ne.jp/a-nishi/y_cube/z_y_cube.html) is a polyhedral mechanical puzzle invented in 1971 by Naoki Yoshimoto, who discovered that two star-shaped rhombic dodecahedrons could be assembled...

The IdeaMore than a decade ago I got a wooden star puzzle that was forgotten for years (Source unknown), so I decided to model it in Fusion 360, a software I'm learning for my 3D printer Maker adventure.I took a caliper, measured the lengths, added...

This is a puzzle box based on Kagen Sound's (https://kagensound.com/) Rune Box and Derek Bosch's Rhombic Maze Burr. I combined what I think are the best elements of both to make a reconfigurable puzzle box. By swapping out the center 3x3 maze tile,...

There are four different ways to do so, one of which is shown in the photo - can you discover the other three?Coffin wrote of this puzzle:"The assembled shape is intermediate between the first and second stellation [of the rhombic dodecahedron], and...

This is a challenging puzzle box based on Kagen Sound's Rune Box and Derek Bosch's Rhombic Maze Burr. I combined the best elements of both to create a reconfigurable puzzle box that can be customized to suit different skill levels. By replacing the...

The three faces that orient the magnets on each piece are derived from the rhombic dodecahedron in such a way that if they were all joined together, they would form a chiral version of Laves graph. The Laves graph is related to the gyroid triply...

Coffin himself described this puzzle: "The assembled shape falls between the first and second stellation of the rhombic dodecahedron, showcasing the symmetry of a tetrahedron. It serves as the skeleton for many more intricate puzzles." "The Four...

This polyhedral mechanical puzzle was invented in 1971 by Naoki Yoshimoto, who discovered that two rhombic star dodecahedra could be assembled into a cube. These two dodecahedra allow the cube to be divided into two equal parts. The two cubes...
