You saved my ass. I have a college project due next week that's basically building an overcomplicated geometric shape that makes us think of a song we like. I made this (a bit tricky in the corners, but I got there) and I'm gonna pick "Kids" from Stranger Things as the song for it. Thank you 10/10 awesome tutorial!
I have not made this, but I was lucky enough to move around inside one and I briefly looked at how it was made. This can be taken apart for transport and storage. You need 30 dowel rods. Calculate the dowel length by taking the desired height of the completed project (72 inches) and divide by the Golden Ratio (1.618) = about 44.5" However, if you are intending to move inside it, make it bigger, so you have room. I'd like one that is 6'8" tall (the height of a standard door), which means the dowels would be 49.44 " Find a hose that the dowels rods will fit into snugly. You might look in the plumbing section of a home improvement store, or in refrigerator replacement parts.) The dowels fit into bits of hose at the vertices of the icosahedron. The bits of hose were each a couple inches long. The vertices of the one I played with were sort of hot-glued-and-rubber-banded together. I don't remember if they used 5 short pieces, or 2 longer ones and 1 short one, to create each 5-part vertex. Let me know if you figure this part out! The flexibility of the hose will correct for some errors.
@@anniejuan1817 Thanks a lot! Since making this post, I enquired around and managed to find someone, they run a 3D shop and the joiners will be made from recycled plastic designed in a 3D printer, and will be able to transport. We are making it around 6’8 too. How did it make you feel when you inside it?
@@swancrow6339 I was only in it for a moment or two, and I hadn't started studying LMA, so it wasn't as meaningful as it would be now. Are you willing to share where you are getting the connectors created? Also, I realized that the calculations I did above did not account for the connectors, and that those lengths might result in a slightly bigger icosahedron than intended.
That's cool. I googled 5 platonic solids... I see they are 4,6,8,10, and 20 sided. Makes me think of the facets that a diamond cutter creates,but I guess he's just covering a surface with multiple facets. Thanks.
Хоть это видео и опубликовано 11 лет назад, оно мне очень помогло. По информатике задали сделать любую модель, но совсем ничего не получается. Посмотрела это видео, думаю сейчас всё получиться 😢
Because icosahedron is one of the platonic solid it represent water element and it is part of the sacred geometry which is the creation of yhe universe
This is awesome! I'll definitely do this for my Geometry assignment. Thanks for the idea!
Neat. This opens up all kinds of ideas for simple things to make.
This is such a pretty shape. I love pentagons.
Thank You So Much....I was very tensed about how I will make the project but you made it easy and simple..... Thanks a lot.....
Oh, Yes!! I'm so using this for my Laban Movement Analysis studies!
Can't Wait To Make This And Share With My 7 yr. young Niece. I Thank You For Sharing♦️💚
Thank you so much, this project is made easy to do, no rulers or pens needed. 🎉

Lol
Nice idea
Thanks man, hug from Brazil 🇧🇷
The principle which you used was very simple
Beautiful! ❤️
How to make rectrangle with cotton buds
Can I use this to make head of a BACTERIOPHAGE ???
any help on how i can make a 6ft one of these that i can stand in?

almost worked but I didn't do a pentagon at the start I did a hexagon
if you do that, you could tesselate the entire world.
Hello my old account... it's me, You... do you remember me... i know you do WE ARE THE SAME PERSON
A guy That draws are you kidding me?
No one cares
Would do it to assign my kids!
Nice triangle
U r so good! Thanks!
OMGGgggg !!!!!!!! That's Awesome !!!! Many thanks !!!👍
Nice idea
great job this was a fun project to do

Cool never did anything like it
Tq for my model 😍🤗
Stacy Dilsen would be proud.
I suggest using wooden ones cuz the plastic ones I used just disintegrated
U r work is very awesome!! For best results which gum should be used????
as well as the s called the glue gun?
Is it rhombiscosidodecahedron?
AMAZING!!
Wow thanks brother
Thank you!
Is there any alternative for hot glue?
Plain ole white glue
It's preety ❤
Now how do you get that in your ear? 😆
is to make the polygon
It's so simple yarr
Ashok Tambe mag ata banav kandil diwali sathi bhau.
SO COOL!
I always get a room full of gluey spiderwebs when I use my hot glue gun.
genius! by the way i want a truncated icosahedron(football)
Gum name plse
Simple and nice.
Easy to make, also simple

why am i watching this..
Because icosahedron is one of the platonic solid it represent water element and it is part of the sacred geometry which is the creation of yhe universe
Because you commented on it seven years ago and some bozo replied, notifying you to check the reply and, this, see the video again.
@@michaelwinter742 and here I am 7 years later with a Math degree
@@TheZein2 Alright, I subscribed to your channel. I look forward to your video posts.
Superb....
cosplay research takes you to the weirdest places
How this use?
It's useful as a teaching tool for a number of different subjects, starting with geometry.
2020 Coronavirus pandemic period anyone ?
Aahhahahah inhaaaa Gomes é ya ggga
Yes.
realy cool :)
i made that with a magnet set
Legend watch it in 2021 😂😂
Nice
Te iubesc smr
Watching this video after 7 years😐😂
Impress your math teacher..
"Will it blend"?
that is the question
GMM for the win!!
You would need 600 dollars to make one out of juuls. Not including tax
Now you need to truncate it somehow
You are amazing!!
Can you make a soccer ball (Truncated icosahedron)? If you can, please TH-cam us?
Thank you
ur gum name
thanks
this guy only has views because of our teacher
Nice and thanku
Thats cooool😎😎😎😎
면봉으로 공 만들어 주세요
can you make a video for C60
Genius xxx
2019 anyone

Dont use superglue
and can you try to do it a little slower thanks
really?
Rply fast😊😊😊
is Platonic solids lend to justice and democracy?
add some sounds
pllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllz
Who else is here from a school assignment oof
G-Man's prison
Wow
👍
pics or it didn't happend
⚠TRICKY TO MAKE⚠ but definitely worth it
but why?
why am i watching this..
atef saeed don't know, maybe coz you've got a creative brain.
