Thanks Micheus,
I liked the problem that you opened in your OP, so a spend some time to find my own solution. I didn't know that there is a Discord channel dedicated to Wings, I should subscribe.
The parameter 0.072 for the bevel is a bit empirical, theoretically it should be 50% of the edge length, but we don't have a proportional bevel operator in Wings. Note also that, as it is the case in the real mirror built for the JWST, there are only 6 true regular hexagons among the 18 (actually my model has 7 regular hexagons as it includes the central one) : if all 18 hexagons were regular, the whole mirror would be flat which is not very interesting for a telescope
