You may have seen various "infinity dodecahedrons" or other polyhedra across internet, such as here, here, here, or here. They are all mesmerizing in their own way. However, each of them has, for me, one major problem. They are all waaay too big. All of them are about the size of a basketball, if not larger. This is fine if you're going to a festival, or are going to hang them from a ceiling, but if you'd like to put one on a desk or a shelf, it's probably not going to be very practical. I wanted a desktop friendly version, so I set about making one.

My end result is a dodecahedron that is a bit bigger than a softball. Without the stand, it measures about 150mm from corner to corner, or 124mm from face to face. With the stand, it is about 203mm tall. You can see it compared to a fresh pencil in the pictures. It is small enough to have on a desk, while still having plenty of LEDs, and being build-able by hand.
