A weird name yes, but it’s because it’s a modular unit from which you can assemble anything you want. Courtesy of Charles Esseltine. I gave some examples of what you can assemble with the TSU, but there’s more. I made a total of 16 modules, you can assemble in any way you like from 3 modules to infinity. I’d recommend 4 or 5 units for starters. You can find some examples from Anniefolds website.
Diagrams here and video with some pictures after the break.
And some examples:
12 units
12 units, type 2
16 units

Great!:D Thank you:D
I’m starting right away, and I really like the one with 16 units:P
Thanks a lot, I stared the second i saw it! :)

i made some wired star type thing with 200 units
how do u assemble 12 units type 2 and the 16 units
sweet! i made the 4 piece module but i dont really want to make a bigger one. thanks a lot! this is pretty awesome!
@david: It’s explained on the website, for the 12 units type 2 there are 8 points made with 8 triangles, for the 16 units you need 10 points with 8 triangles and 2 squares.
goddamnit!!!!!! it won’t stick to gether at all! how in hell do you do it? Glue?
i apologize, i have completed most of your other projects, however after spending an hour trying to do the same thing i am having a hard time. please help me
@zach: You can use something to hold the modules together, like paper clips, I used thicker paper than usual printing paper, but I thought normal printing paper would be easier to assemble… I guess not. Maybe you could try with thicker paper, make 3 modules and see if it’s any easier.
hey, karl… try making this

here is the crease pattern. The paper size is 20cm x 40cm or anything of that dimension. you just waterbomb fold each 2×2 square
