A smaller version of the unit is shown too, it is interesting that the smaller one can easily be made with double symmetry (a mirror symmetry and a symmetry axis), whereas I only managed to make the larger one with just the mirror symmetry. The larger one, however, can be used to make a solid column, as long as you like, with gaps on the outside giving it the look of a pineapple.
As the column is 12 sided it is dodecagonal, but the dodecagon it matches is not regular.
