In the physical build of this vZome model, the blue and red icosahedra have edge length b3. Six edges of both icosahedra are splitted into two hb3’s. The 24 remaining edges of the blue icosahedron belong to the blue orbit, and are split into 3 pieces with ratio’s 3-φ:2&phi-2;:1. The same ratio’s apply to the 3 pieces of the 24 remaining edges of the red icosahedron, but now these belong to the black orbit and are 3D printed. Don’t use the latest official version of openSCAD, which is five years old, but a more recent development snapshot. It is assumed the connector.scad file is locally available.
Faces of both icosahedra intersect in struts, labeled in vZome as automatic: they have not been assigned a vZome colour code. These alse have been 3D printed in purple coloured PLA, as shown in:
