Cap Cubes
These structures consist of a cubic core unit and additional cubes or in one case pyramids as caps.
All models were folded from 12 units of equally sized square sheets of paper. I tried to reverse-engineer this design by
Martin Sejer Andersen, my guess is that the second model from the left consists of the same units.
The first 2 models from the left appear to be the same, however the modules are different. The first uses the paper more efficiently while the second is more sturdy. The third shares the same cap module and the fourth the same core unit with the second model.
One could also create an extended fractal using the third design. It is not possible with the twisted versions to go beyond level 2 because some parts will overlap. To visualize this, I created a 3D rendition of the Level 3 fractal regarding the regular and the twisted version with Tinkercad. The real model would require 66 units.
