Wondering if starting the assembly would be better with the top, and adding the other parts after. Seen this done with a lot of geodesic projects and it seems to be easier to do.
Can you think of any reason why I couldn’t use two sets of brackets per join? Inside and Outside sandwiching the timber with a through bolt to compress join? I realise that doubles the quantity I would need for a dome. I plan on creating a triple skin dome with an insect mesh layer on an outer frame using ‘BuildWithHubs’ kit and inner overlapping polycarbonate sheets for rain proofing and inner adjustable insulating layer. This adds obviously weight.
Cant see a reason for insect mesh on the outside if you are using polycarbonate. You`ll need to be good at trig, the frame will be triangles and it will have a different frequency to the polycarbonate shell made up of polygons, not triangles..
These connectors are available in Europe on amazon France, Italy, Spain and Germany. Just search Domestar connector. Currently available in 3 kits: 1V, 2V and 3V. Thank you.
@@battleofarmageddon1366 A set of 11 for a 1V dome is around $115, crazy expensive :) I`ve always made my own from heavy wall pvc or aluminium tube, th-cam.com/video/LnX2W2mgl0Q/w-d-xo.html
This is absolutely the best tutorial ever!
I agree
haha :) thank you for the kind words!
That's a superior-looking connector system. I like the thickness and details. The hole plan is superb.
Best instructional video I’ve seen. Do you sell the Connecters?

I will give it a shot but I think this would require a lot more people as this involves at some stages carrying the whole structure.

Maybe they differ a bit in size, because of the angles. So, the holes might not line up.

Would you make V3 connectors in the future? Could 2 kits for a V2 be adapted to build a V3?
V3 kits are now available at Amazon France, Italy, Germany and Spain. No: you cannot use V2 kits to build a V3 dome as all angles are different.
Thank you.
Where can this be bought? Can you provide some links for manufacturer?
If only there were a way to just type something like "dome star connectors" into a computer and have it search out the company for you.
@@AlbertaGeek Yeah, except they can't be found doing that.
Viking domes
@@gta-6837 They are not the same. Notice the holes. These are not the same.
The manufacturer is Domestar and these can be bought on amazon France, Germany, Italy and Spain once they are back in stock :) Also soon on Amazon UK.
great !!
Would you please pioneer marine grade 316 stainless steel and titanium more corrosion resistant wooden geodesic biodome connectors, please
What is the diameter and the height of this dome?
Where to get
Thank you for a verry informative viedeo 👍💪
Where do I buy these?
In Europe: Amazon France, Italy, Spain and Germany. Just search for domestar connectors. Currently 3 kits available (1v, 2v and 3v)

No links. A bunch of people asking in the comments. Apparently not finding stuff. No reason to watch further.
