If you're going up to 4096 then you might as well use a doubling dodecahedron or icosahedron!

I had that thought years ago. The stability of such an object questionable.

I once saw a doubling polygonal cylinder. The parallel faces were octagons, I think, so the "cube" went to 256. To get to the next power of two, you just rotated it once along the axis through the octagonal faces.
