Truncated Octahedron Lamp

thingiverse

Truncated Octahedron Lamp In geometry, the truncated octahedron is an Archimedean solid. It has 14 faces (8 regular hexagonal and 6 square), 36 edges, and 24 vertices. Since each of its faces has point symmetry the truncated octahedron is a zonohedron. It is also the Goldberg polyhedron GIV(1,1), containing square and hexagonal faces. Like the cube, it can tessellate (or "pack") 3-dimensional space, as a permutohedron. 12" diameter Made of 1/4 Birch plywood / Rice paper. 1 hrs of laser cutting (100w laser cutter) 30 min Materials: 24x32 1/4" Plywood - $10 Dark wood stain - $5 Rice Paper - $4 3m 77 spray adhesive for rice paper- $6 Lightbulb / Lamp Cord - $6 Tools: 100 w laser cutter Anything that can cut 1/4" will do. (60w lasers will do it) Instructions: Start by staining wood, then laser out pieces. Laser out rice paper. Glue rice paper on faces. Connectors have shapes in regards to each side, they are different angles. 4-6 125.46 degrees 6-6 109.47 degrees Assemble. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truncated_octahedron Laser out lightbulb stand and assemble. Or you can hang from the cut square piece :) Perpetual Design www.perpdesign.com perpdesign@gmail.com Email me if you have any questions.
