Dodecahedron

[ifitsfreeitsforme]

these ancient Roman dodecahedrons (sp?) have been in the news lately and for some reason I'm intrigued by them, so I replicated one in CAD (Creo) and printed it. It's amazing to me that they do not know what they were for. My theory is they were pole/staff toppers, because there is one hole (barley visible here) that is much bigger than all the others.

now to incorporate one into a bike build.

Ancient Roman Cellulite Massager, Body Sculpting Machine, Stomach Massager for Belly Fat
Please note the shape of the box! Coincidence? We think not. Mystery solved Mr. Nimoy!

Very interesting shape. You got my attention! I immediately was thinking about the works of Randall Carlson or Tesla:

The description says a little about the shape.

I wonder if the Dodecahedron is mentioned in 'Tesla's Vortex equation'.

those Randall Carlson pieces are beautiful. I bet they feel wonderful in the hand.
