Rhombicosidodecahedron

Description

This shape is called a Rhombicosidodecahedron

When I start making something, I somehow end up trying to '1-up' things, and here this is, the Archimedean solid with the longest one word name. ;)

The dodecahedron was simple enough, and my next shape would have been the truncated icosahedron (soccer ball, buckyball), but saw that it was already done and wanted to go a step farther.

The interesting thing about this is that all the vertices connect to 4 others, instead of 3 connections in the other mentioned shapes, and 4 connections is rather tricky to do with normal orbital weaves.

Duuuude! I can't think of anything more profound to say about this awesomeness.
