Jessen's Orthogonal Icosahedron
thingiverse
Jessen's Orthogonal Icosahedron is a concave 20-sided polyhedra that was discovered by Børge Jessen in 1967. It possess a variety of mathematical properties, such as being scissor congruent to a cube and being a "shaky" or multistable shape. Given that there has not been a ton of work on this particular subject, I figured I would design it in CAD and 3D print it to have a physical version.

When compressed, the shape collapses into an octohedron.
