Compound of Five Dodecahedra
Posted on February 13, 2026
A compound constructed by rotating five copies of a dodecahedron by 0°, 72°, 144°, 216° and 288° respectively, around an axis through the centre of the dodecahedron. For one specific choice of this axis, the compound has icosahedral symmetry.
Compound of Ten Tetrahedra
Posted on January 26, 2026
Another one of the 17 fully supported stellations of the icosahedron, in a cunning colour scheme devised by Robert Webb, the author of Stella. Besides the esthetical improvement, panels here provide a second technique to bypass the Zometool impossibility of having tips of multiple struts into the same hole of...
Compound of Five Octahedra
Posted on January 21, 2026
Another one of the 17 fully supported stellations of the icosahedron. Besides the esthetical improvement, panels here have as side-effect that all remaining edges can be represented by single piece Zometool struts.
Compound of Two Icosahedra

An interesting uniform compound. The two Icosahedra have edges belonging to the blue and black orbits. Eight of their faces have hexagons in common.
Compound of Two Dodecahedra

A model requiring both apple orbit struts and black orbit struts of vZome's golden field. The two dodecahedra are emphasized by 3D printed panels.
Paneled Compound of Five Tetrahedra

Another "even trickier" model George Hart proposed in 2001. Following these steps, no dexterity is needed.
Compound of 5 Truncated Tetrahedra

A model proposed by George Hart more than 20 years ago. Follow these steps to physically build this compound, without dexterity issues.
Compound of 5 Tetrahedra

A classic from the Zome Geometry book. An elaborate scaffolding ensures that both hands are free during the building process.
Compound of 10 Triangular Prisms
