Four interlocking triangular prisms folded from rectangles cut from four sheets of A4 paper.
A different method from Daniel Kwan’s original, but it shares some of the geometry https://www.flickr.com/photos/8303956@N08/651459788/
I think my method is easier as the struts are pushed into the triangular caps; the original uses Sonobe/Ow-style units which can be awkward if there's not enough space.
How did I get here? The next logical step from three cuboid tubes was to make four tubes intersect. I tried using four triangular prisms in a tetrahedron but the intersecting faces were not appealing. I then tried making four triangular prisms based on the opposite triangles of a cuboctahedron, but again the intersecting faces were not appealing. Rotating the prisms improved the result, and I discovered that shortening the prisms makes a structure like WXYZ https://foldworks.net/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/wxyz.pdf 😆
The next step would be Six interlocking pentagonal prisms like https://www.flickr.com/photos/8303956@N08/652279270/
