6-by-6 octagon technique

This is a little tutorial for the 6-wide regular octagon technique, built by clipping cheese slopes sideways into one or more 2x2 modified plates with octagonal bar frame. It’s not very complicated and I’m probably not the first one to ever come up with this technique, but I really like it and have used it quite a few times by now.
