I've made a 3d model in OpenSCAD and uploaded it to thingiverse: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3726912. I've put a simple rendering of the shape on that page; I'm going to both 3d print it and do a nicer CGI rendering now. On Tue, 2 Jul 2019 at 19:24, James Propp <jamespropp@gmail.com> wrote:
The link to the video apparently didn't survive the conversion from HTML to PDF, so here's the URL for Scott Kim's video:

At http://faculty.uml.edu/jpropp/mathenchant/motley-draft3.pdf you'll find a draft of an essay that will be published on July 11th. Comments are welcome, but even more welcome would be a good picture of the "spherical pseudo-cuboctahedron"! In principle I know how to make such a picture, sort of: take the motley dissection of the surface of the cube (shown in the essay), push all the vertices out onto a sphere, and draw spherical arcs joining up those vertices. This seems like a job for Mathematica, but my mastery of 3D graphics isn't up to the job. I'll gratefully acknowledge anyone who can create a picture I can use!
Thanks,
Jim Propp
