I would like to find some way to manufacture icosahedra, dodecahedra and paper rhombic dodecahedra with few modules.
I know that it is possible to build an icosahedron from only two, three or four modules (there is a way to do it so), unlike the classical method of 10 universal modules, however I can not find the recipe.
John Montroll in fact published some books with instructions for several polyhrdra from one sheet of paper. One of these books, "3D Origami Platonic Solids & More", features an icosahedron as well as a rhombic dodecahedron.
I hope I helped!

There is a nice YouTube video with a module that makes all polyhedra from 8 to 500 and odd if I can edit this comment I'll add links for you.

Thanks for the recommendation, I'm going to look for the book in amazon.

Thanks but... basically I am searching for the opposite: to make these with the minor quantity of steps or modules (even, with only one sheet).
I knew how to make these triangular faced polyhedrons with such type of module (sonobe module), but it isn't what I am searching.
In fact and about the topic, I know a way to make paper octahedrons very fast and easilly, which only involves the use of two modules and only 5 folds per module!
