Introduction:
Kepler Magnetic Blocks are akin to a three-dimensional tangram. Composed of six distinct magnetic shapes, the initial set of ten blocks assembles into a rhombic dodecahedron - much like how traditional tangram pieces form a square. These blocks allow limitless creative possibilities, enabling users to construct countless forms such as the adorable animal figures illustrated.
The six block types exhibit proportional volume relationships, with each face comprising one or two identical isosceles triangles. Every triangular surface integrates positive and negative magnetic poles, ensuring secure interlocking between faces. This innovative design empowers creators to build diverse, intricate spatial structures through stable magnetic connections.
