![Origami dodecahedron](/dodecahedra/origami-dodecahedron-adjusted.png)
A dodecahedron folded out of a single sheet of paper! I loved exploring the geometry behind folding those 108-degree angles.
![Blender dodecahedron](/dodecahedra/render-cropped.png)
A nice dodecahedron that I made with Blender. Used as my profile picture everywhere.
![Blender animated dodecahedron](/dodecahedra/render.gif)
Here's an animated version that only took a few hours to render with 24 CPU threads on full throttle...
![Lego dodecahedron](/dodecahedra/1365-1024.jpg)
My own Lego dodecahedron design, completely different than the other Lego dodecahedra you can find online. I still have no idea how I discovered the clever design which only uses 120x 2x2 bricks and 60x black pins? That's it! You can do some pretty cool things with even the most basic pieces! Just a warning: building this thing is an absolute nightmare, so if you think building Legos is easy, try making this.
![Straw dodecahedron](/dodecahedra/straw-dodecahedron.jpg)
A dodecahedron made of straws...

...and converted into a lampshade.
![Pentakis dodecahedron made out of water bottles](/dodecahedra/water-bottle-pentakis-dodecahedron.jpg)
A pentakis dodecahedron (dodecahedron with a pentagonal pyramid attached to each face) made out of empty water bottles.
