A first vZome model explains the construction. Consider an inner rhombicosidodecahedron (magenta), concentric with an outer rhombitruncated icosahedron (teal). An second rhombicosidodecahedron (green) intersects the rhombitruncated icosahedron along a decagonal face. The solid intersection is a pentagonal cupola, Johnson solid J5). Its pentagonal face connects to a pentagonal face of the inner rhombicosidodecahedron by a pentagonal antiprism.
The second vZome model presents the Zometool building instructions, starting from a rhombicosidodecahedron.
In order to improve the aesthetics, triangular, square and hexagonal panels have been designed with OpenScad, and 3D printed in translucent PETG.
