XYZ-diamonds

Never mind the no-videos-till-next-year post, I discovered that the iSight on my MacBook could do the thing, but it’s very uncomfortable. This is a planar origami by Francis Ow, it should look like there’s 3 diamonds intersecting each other in every axis’s. The modules have to be perfectly folded or the outcome will be catastrophic, as you can see on the picture. The diagrams are here (2 pages) and the video after the break.

    Nope, but I’m not very motivated for something big and complicated right now.

    okay, hmm….. lets see……… uuhhmmm…… This one is interesting http://www.nickrobinson.info/origami/diagrams/trimodule.htm

    It’s Nick Robinsons Trimodule, but it’s 30 modules so…. It will take a while to fold it i guess. heres a picture btw http://hektor.umcs.lublin.pl/~mikosmul/origami/spiked-icosahedron-tri.jpg

    I have tried the trimodule before, but had trouble understanding the assembly. I’ll definitely do them someday.

    you know what? me to! I have no idea how, but there is a star you can make of it. http://hektor.umcs.lublin.pl/~mikosmul/origami/koch-snowflake-level1-tri.jpg

    That will help I think, and you can make a snowflake 2 hehe…

    can you do the STUVWXYZ stars on origamee.net

  7. Karl says:December 27th, 2007 at 22:31

    Sure, I’m slowly finishing the spiked icosahedron and when I get back in Switzerland I’ll try it.

    hey! I have an idea I think you would like. I think it would be great if you organizing you videos in order from hardest so easiest. Like: simpel Intermediate Complex

    Heh, I already thought about it, the problem was that Wordpress organizes the categories alphabetically, so when I tried “hard, intermediate, easy” it showed “easy, hard, intermediate”. Not that much of a trouble, but bothersome. I’ll code something to fit them right someday.
