Geek out a string of lights with some fancy mathematical shapes! We'll keep adding polyhedra over the next week; the ones we have so far are the:

Snub Cube
Great Rhombicuboctahedron
Great Rhombicosidodecahedron
Dysdyakis Dodecahedron
Deltoidal Hexecontahedron

Each of these ornaments is a polyhedron that was exported from Mathematica and then stellated in TopMod. The holes were added in Tinkercad, so you can modify them yourself if your lights are a different size than mine:

Later this week we'll write up the design path we used to make these, at:
