Truncated cube!!!


Truncated cube!!!
Originally uploaded by Bharath Kishore
This figure takes the form of a cube with its vertices cut-off, so that the face after cutting forms an equilateral triangle.
What's more..?? This has been made from same module as I made the modular cube.
A cube and a truncated cube from the same module make feel excited about what more interesting figures I can make out of the module. I'll soon upload a colored version of it and the diagram to make the module for enthusiasts.
Made from print paper, 24 modules. It's been really a pain to put the pieces together as they tend to curve in oppsite directions *and* the bonds are not as strong as they were in the cube.
It is now resting on one of its triangular faces.
