  Name: Andromeda is a skeletal octahedron whose edges have been developed into a twelve point star.

Modules / Paper shape / Folding geometry: 12 modules folded from squares using mock platinum folding geometry. 6 extra 'end cap' modules folded from squares using standrad folding geometry can be added to clad the central skeletal octahedron and produce the result shown in the photo.

Designer / Date: David Mitchell, 2012.
