Hi All,
When I ordered Ed's MC4D crystal cube, I also ordered another using a model
I made of the {3,3,6} H3 honeycomb. This is the dual honeycomb to the one
Andrey's MHT633 puzzle is based on, and it has come up a few times in
discussions here. It turned out nice, and I thought some of y'all would
enjoy pics.

If anyone wants one, let me know, and I'll get you info on how to order one!
Cheers,
Roice

Gorgeous, Roice!
Ooh, the reflections give me an idea. It should be possible to embed one
snub cube from the {3,8}b IRP so that the square openings exactly touch
the surface, and the reflections should produce the infinite tiling.
Can you help me order one?

Yes, that will be very cool! I will make the STL model this evening, which
will be quick since I already have code to load your VRML file.
I don't know how close they'll let us engrave toward the edges, but we can
ask them to get as close as possible and see how it goes! They've started
sending proofs before they actually engrave anything, so it should be easy
to look at that and decide if the effect you're describing will work well
or not.

Great! The effect only works if it can be taken all the way to the
edges. I don't think I would want to do it if it had to end more than .5
millimeter from the edges, which would appear as 1 mm gaps.

Hi Melinda,
Here is an stl file for a single unit of the {3,8}b.
www.gravitation3d.com/lasercrystal/{3,8}b_one.stl
However, I sent an email to them about how close they can engrave to the
surface, and this was their response:
I checked with our artist and we normally do 5mm from each side.

So it sounds like we won't be able to get the reflection effect you were
hoping for. Another approach would be to not rely on reflections, and just
make a model with 8 or 27 or 64 repeating cells in the main area. Models
of the other IRPs with repeated units included would be neat to see as well.

Hello Roice,
That's too bad because the reflections were kind of the whole point, so
I guess I'll drop the idea. It would be nice to see a good chunk of the
{3,7} or {5,5} but I've built nice models of them and others using
Polydron. Perhaps some day I will build a model inside a mirror box.
Thanks for helping,
-Melinda

Hi Melinda,
Here is an stl file for a single unit of the
{3,8}b.
href="http://www.gravitation3d.com/lasercrystal/%7B3,8%7Db_one.stl">www.gravitation3d.com/lasercrystal/{3,8}b_one.stl
However, I sent an email to them about how close they can
engrave to the surface, and this was their response:
I
checked with our artist and we normally do 5mm from each
side.
If you have an order of 5 pieces or less we can do 3mm as
they would each have to be measured.
The reason is that each piece is handmade and are not
guaranteed to be exactly 60mm. Some are slightly smaller so
the image can come out of the glass if the image is too big.
So it sounds like we won't be able to get the
reflection effect you were hoping for. Another approach would
be to not rely on reflections, and just make a model with 8 or
27 or 64 repeating cells in the main area. Models of the
other IRPs with repeated units included would be neat to see
as well.
