An Icosahedron?

Post by JumPurge »

I'm looking for a plain icosahedron. Nothing too fancy. Just the plane faces of each unit showing without much graphics.
Or if somebody has a triangular unit that can be used for one.

Mathematical Origami, by David Mitchell has a modular icosahedron made of 5 units.

John Montroll has a nice icosahedron from a single square in A Plethora of Polyhedra in Origami. There's one in A Constellation of Polyhedra as well, but I like the other one better.

Edit: Why is not having the book an issue? If you have the book, wouldn't you know where an icosahedron is?...

Perhaps I should rephrase. I don't have the money to get these two new books for one model. x-x

Well if you have an iPhone/iPod Touch or iPad, then you can spend one dollar to get it in his new app 3D Origami Platonic Solids. It was just delivered to the iTunes store, and should be out for sale in a week.

Hm.
My friends do. Would it be ethical for them to buy it for me and send me a pdf copy?
