Hi Laura,

>>What would be the best match and where can I find the diagrams?
It looks like a cube truncated at opposite corners (and slightly
squished!)
I'm not aware of any diagrams that would match it exactly. But in the
spirit of throwing open a challenge, would you be looking for edge units or
flat face units? Edge units you'd 6 each of three different sizes. For flat
face units you'd need 6 of one and 2 of another, but I suspect that it could be
done with 6 identical units with a clever lock to make the other two faces
(which would have creases).
I'll ponder it, but I hope that some other geometric or modular folders
out there will give it a shot!
