In this setting wouldn’t each “face” be only able to have one vertex.

Take the vertices of a tetrahedron -- I think I was thinking of the tattoo image, start with hyperbolic helicoids between pairs of vertices, and the two fitting together (maybe touching or deforming one another like modular paper art)

all Platonic solids have an even number of vertices, so take pairs of them and link with hyperbolic helicoids (maybe they all have uniform charge distributions so repel one another?)

and each helicoid might be distorted a little bit to make room for the others it's intercalated with. ... weaving with rotini

I would love to see the object you describe! Though as soon as you distort the surfaces they are no longer really helicoids.

it might be possible to connect the two with bridges and yield another minimal surface. I'll attempt drawings later.

(aside: /supercoiled hyperbolic helicoids/?)
