Video: Cuboctahedron (Jitterbug)

Posted on the 12th April, 2008Add comments

An action model made from 8 Tung Ken Lam’s jitterbug modules. It’s easy and takes no time to make, you can also make 20 modules for a Icosidodecahedron. It can be collapsed in a diamond, but doesn’t look very nice due to the angles of the joints that prevent a nice full collapsing. I used 10cm square paper for the modules.

Diagrams here and the video after the break.

    I changed the link because the link on the website wasn’t obvious enough.

    @chris: I upload to Metacafe videos of more than 10 minutes. I still have subscribers at YT.
