This isogonal polychoron cannot be made uniform, i.e. having all 3 edge types at the same size.

The incidence matrix below shows that the vertex figure is a tri-apiculated trigonal pyramid.

Note that the below provided value of c (obtained from the zero height requirement of the tegum sum), when inserted into the formula of the dihedral angle of the lacing edge of the recta results in arccos(1/[4c2/(b-a)2-1]) = arccos(1/[12/5 - 1]) = 44.415309° < 60° = 360°/6, i.e. the below provided seemingly huge number of 6 trapezoprisms around the c-edges indeed is valid here. Note moreover that the calculated value does no longer depend on the chosen ratio of a:b !

Sure, asking that the lacing edges of the pyramid are outside to the burried pseudo edges of the medial layer triangle, might give some further restriction to the a:b ratio, which so far has not been evaluated.
