“Radiance” 30 Interlocking Icosakainonagonal Stars (Byriah Loper)
“Radiance” 30 Interlocking Icosakainonagonal Stars (Byriah Loper)

“Radiance” 30 Interlocking Icosakainonagonal Stars 870 units
In my hand.
Lest anyone should mistake my online inactivity for any cessation from origami, this is the “slow cook” project I mentioned before on Instagram. This is the new “World’s Largest Wireframe” (by unit count), edging past “Supernova,” which was 840 units with the scaffold. Each star polygon here has 29 sides, and contributes one edge to four different 5-fold axes. The 10 sided whorls really accent this model well, and help in visualizing the dodecahedral symmetry. This is about 14” in diameter, which makes it the largest stellated “planar-esque” construction (I am unsure as to whether the polygons here could be planar in theory, but they are certainly hyperboloidal in reality. I was somewhat concerned that larger assemblies like this might not be able to support their own weight, but it is surprisingly rigid. The colors for each frame are not all distinct or uniform, but I don’t think that should matter for someone who wanted to reproduce this. The proportions are the standard which I have used for the planar series: 1.4375”x 3.375” (1:2.34783). The units have standard 60 degree non-con pockets and the crimped units have interior angles that are precisely 72.41379 degrees (75 degrees works just fine).
Designed by me.
