This origami kaleidocycle is an example of a flexible polyhedron, and an action origami model. You can see the cycling action in this video by Ed Holmes, in whose workshop at OrigamiUSA 2021 convention I learned this model. I like this design very much, and also think the unit itself has a lot of potential and could be used for creating many other shapes as well.
