Bob Hearn had the cunning idea to produce a magnetic set of all the cells that compose all the stellations of the Icosahedron. His monochrome components were all designed in Fusion 360. In order to obtain stellations which are consistently face-coloured, I created a workflow to produce pieces which are multicoloured individually. For each piece type, a vZome design is transformed by a perl program into an OpenSCAD file for all multicoloured patterns which are needed. This post presents the multicoloured magnetic set for the stellations of the Dodecahedron.
A Dodecahedron only has three stellations, better known as the Small Stellated Dodecahedron, the Great Dodecahedron, and the Great Stellated Dodecahedron.
Together with the Great Icosahedron, one of the stellations of the icosahedron, they are the Kepler-Poinsot polyhedra, which together with the Platonic solids form the complete set of nine regular polyhedra.
I implemented the four-coloured version proposed by George Hart. This colouring is chiral. The OpenSCAD designs for the kernel, first layer, second layer and third layer are ready to be sliced and 3D printed. Next the three stellations can be built following:
