Stella Users' Polyhedron Models

Stella Users' Polyhedron Models

Here are some models made by people other than me, using measurements or nets generated by Stella4D, Great Stella or Small Stella.

If you have made models using Stella, please email me () some images, and I may include them here.

Models by Fr. Magnus Wenninger

Author of "Polyhedron Models", "Dual Models" and "Spherical Models"

Stellation by Magnus
Some stellations of duals of Waterman polyhedra made by Fr. Magnus Wenninger using Great Stella.

3D projections of 4D polytopes made using Stella4D. See more photos of these on Fr. Magnus Wenninger's website.

George Olshevsky calls this model "Huitzilopochtli". It is the dual of the final stellation of the icosahedron, if you interpret that model as having irregular enneagrams for faces (ie 9-pointed stars). Both models are isogonal isohedra, meaning their vertices are all the same, and their faces are all the same.

Models by Sebastián Naccas

Sebastián makes polyhedral lamps using templates from Great Stella.

Models by Hamp Stevens

Wooden rhombicosidodecahedra crafted by Hamp Stevens with measurements from Great Stella.

Models by David Bodoh

Crafted from wood by David Bodoh with help from Great Stella for initial polyhedron design and evaluation of angles.

Models by Alex Doskey

This model was designed by Alex Doskey using Great Stella. It was then exported to VRML format, which was used to build the physical model in a ZCorp stereolithograph machine. The model is only about 6 inches across, and has all regular non-intersecting faces.
