    Yep. But asking for this in metal is bonkers. You’d need both the textile geek and a machinist to collab closely. And they would both need a deep Trek knowledge/appreciation. To remake this with metal would be just the project of a millionaire with a deep love of all things Trek.

      Material Arts and Design is a conglomeration of many disciplines. Often textiles, jewelry, ceramics, sometimes glass blowing and furniture making. You are way over thinking this. This would be a fun colab. They’re not even regular hexagons. They look like they were made with felt sheets.

        I don’t think I am wrong here. The irregularity is what makes it difficult. Don’t even think about specific units here; 2x2x2x2x2x2 is easy. 1.9x2.4x3x2x3.5x2x is difficult.

          You’re trying to use a big, high tech machine to make it. I’m talking about using a coping saw. Quite different approaches.
