Description
Again this semiregular solid illustrated with strips surrounding the perimiter of its faces (32 equilateral triangles and 6 square faces)
A real model can be built using single strips on the edges of the faces. I use superposed pairs to obtain a single plane on the faces of the drawing, a trick that avoid errors added by differences due to thickness of the strips. As real strips in models are flexible, this error in imperceptible when assembliung the frame since they adjust themselves to become a single body.
The secret will be to bend and use obtuse angle brackets that connect triangular faces to other triangular faces to measure ~153º instead of the standard 135º. For connection between triangular faces with square faces they should be bent to ~143º
