Hexagram, Hexagonal Star, Hexagon Puzzle

thingiverse

This is about an 11-piece dissection of a hexagram. Starting from a regular octagon, one can construct a hexagram by connecting the diagonals and further dissect the hexagram into 12 pieces as shown. The hexagram, so dissected, can be reassembled into 4 congruent small hexagrams. This dissection can be a great project for K-12 students and teachers to learn about 3D design ideas. For better effect, the inner parts are 6mm in thickness; the outer pieces are 4mm high. The whole star has a diameter of 60mm. Have fun!
