Pictures: Strip dodecahedron

Strip dodecahedron

For this strip origami I used the Sphere94 folding method to make the sides. It wasn’t assembled in any special way, I just kept making pentagons and knotting them together. It’s actually easy to make since every pentagon holds itself together on its own, so knotting the pentagons together isn’t a problem. Again I used some of my old school notes paper, it helps cutting exact strips with the lines. Once you run out of the strip you’re using you can easily add another one by tucking it somewhere.

It took me a while and about 20 strips of an A4 paper. This particular model was made with 2cm width paper. One more picture after the break.

    wow. Not bad:)
    I made a dodecahedron just like that with some units I invented myself.

    Can you teach me those units. Please make a video showing how to make the units.

    I’ll make a video of Sphere94, the units are the same.

    How old are you and can you please tell me about yourself.

    When you post the video about the 94 units, I am just going to say thanks early.

    i like it. it’s my favourite one. it’s quite breathtaking, really, and it was easy to make. it looks way more impressive than it is to do…

    …all the way from australia!

    @istvan: Like written: “it wasn’t assembled in any special way”, there’s no diagrams for this particular model, but you can use the Sphere94s to help.

    Take this model as a derived model of the Sphere94. There isn’t any methodology for this, so a video is useless.
