Video: Mennorode star

Modular six pointed star

After a long time of absence, again, I’m hereby presenting another six pointed star. This is a modular composed of 12 pieces, very easy to fold, but a bit frustrating to assemble. When connecting the last module to the first I didn’t bother locking them because I would have torn the whole thing apart and it was sturdy enough as it was. A stellar origami by Carmen Sprung.

Diagrams over here and video after the break as usual.

For those who wish to know what “Mennorode” stands for: it’s a place where the Origami SociĆ«teit Nederland members meet annually.

    Niice!! Thank you!! Can you make a video on how to make a stellated icosahedron? Here is the diagrams for the module, but i can’t figure out to assemble it. http://www.geocities.com/mmukhopadhyay/creation/isos.html

    You don’t have to, just if you don’t have plans for what to make in your next video. Marry Christmas by the way:D

    Excellent idea. I almost never have any idea of my next origami before I start making it. I’ll get right on it.

    The diagrams are in pdf format, I host the file so it should work (worked for me anyway). You can view pdf files with Adobe Reader (free).

    I am an 11 year old boy who extremely loves origami, specially when they are modular and complex. I have learned
    cubes, stars(including the omega star),animals, modular origami, and money origami. I am wanting to know how to make a 30 unit dodecegahedron (if thats how you spell it).Please make a video showing how to make one. I never knew how to make one.

    I was six years old when I started making origami. The first figure I made was an origami balloon which seems simple.Today I am more into kawasaki roses, omega stars,
    masks, boxes, and modular figures.

    Is that what you’re looking for http://www.origaminut.com/2007/10/14/dodecahedron/ ?

    Thank you very much! I really like it!

    What I was expecting was a closed dodecahedron. One that you cant put your hand in.

    I was having trouble assembling the 6 parts as whole but your video made it a bit easier. It’s a little to fast for me to follow though.

    When will they post a video showing how to make an origami rose?Well yaa I know how to make them but it makes this place a better web site.I am not saying this website is cheap, infact, it is one of my favorite web sites, because I have someone to talk to which is Karl(my #1 Fan)and I learn origami.

    @Alejandro

    I’m not entirely sure what you want… me to do an origami rose? If you have a request you’ll be better off sending me an email at nut.origami[at]gmail.com, this way I’ll get to it much quicker.

  15. Alejandro says:February 5th, 2008 at 02:02

    If my request caused you trouble, its ok to ignore it,sorry if it did.:|

  16. Karl says:February 5th, 2008 at 18:45

    No it didn’t, I’m just saying that if you have a request send an e-mail, comments are more for feedback.

  17. Alejandro says:February 6th, 2008 at 02:14

    do you have to cut it? whenever i click on the diagrmas link, my computer freezes, either that, or the window pops up, but it never finishes loading. that made me sad…
