Reddit reviews Unit Polyhedron Origami

I'm pretty sure it's made from double-sided convex hexagonal ring units (a mouthful, I know!) from Tomoko Fuse's book Unit Polyhedron Origami.

Here's one I made next to the illustration from the book, and it looks pretty much identical to OPs.

It's an awesome module, they look similar to little turtle but they hold together much better. They're made from 1:2 paper which can be annoying, but they're basically just an improved little turtle otherwise.

EDIT: Icosahedrons made with little turtle also have wider triangular openings and the spikes are a bit shorter from what I remember.

They're all from this book: https://www.amazon.com/Unit-Polyhedron-Origami-Tomoko-Fuse/dp/4889962050/#reader_4889962050, which I would recommend

here are some ideas of models i designed & built



Inspired by the following Books
Unit-Origami-Multidimensional-Tomoko-Fuse

Unit Origami

Kuniko Kasahara's-Origami Omnibus:

Also i use Wolfram http://mathworld.wolfram.com/JohnsonSolid.html
http://mathworld.wolfram.com/PlatonicSolid.html
http://mathworld.wolfram.com/ArchimedeanSolid.html

most of the models on the above referenced pages can be built/assembled with either Sonobe units, Open Frame II units , Square/Triangle Flat unit modules or Hexagonal flat unit modules..

In addition to the books & Wolfram pages I use Antiprism - polyhedra modeling software to design, plan/colorize & 3-D render my models
