You`d need to cut 2 very accurate compound angles on the end of each strut. Hub and strut is easier than bevelled panel but a lot depends on the domes intended purpose and cover material.

If you look a bit further down in the tool calculations, it also gives you the information for "panelised construction". That information includes the number of panels you need and the strut lengths they are composed of. You find the total number of struts you need by multiplying accordingly.

If your only building one dome, just as easy to cut them by hand.

I hope this is not late but watch the video where Paul explains why not to use glue

@@PERSONA1111 I'll check it out.

@@PERSONA1111 Which video is that? Thought I've seen all of his videos by now but can't find any mention about not glueing..

Use proper screws. The ones in this video are for attaching metal to wood, not wood to wood. They would have had a much easier time using the right fastener.

Yeah that is definitely a better way to build these domes. The actual hubs can be squared off and the wood struts angled to create the dome. Paul sometimes uses hexagon and pentagon blocks as his hub connectors, then you would only need to cut the ends at 72 and 74 degree for a 2 V dome structure. Some variations on hubs exist, from circles to metal and wooden plates. These are great builds, but can get complicated if the connections are not accurate and aligned. Wood thickness another important factor in comparison to overall size of the dome.

@@gazsto9510 My hub preference is heavy wall aluminium tube and hanger bolts. It gives a nice clean look and makes assembling the dome very easy. czcams.com/video/LnX2W2mgl0Q/video.html

It's actually a "hyphen", such as is used between syllables when a word is split to the next line in a text. Dashes are longer and of varying length.

I can't find the information anywere

At 2:00 min in he says you can get the angles from the dome calculator .

The abeveld angle is rounded to 72 and 74 degrees. But in the video above he rounded both to 73 . This will work but may need slight adjustments as you build the dome. Also the bigger the dome the more noticable that difference becomes.

@@kulwinderThandi That is the axial angle used for hub and strut domes. The panel method requires a full length bevel. An accurately made 2v dome involves 3 different edge bevel angles. The 10 equilateral triangles have 79.2 degree bevel on all three sides. The 30 pentagon triangles have 78.8 degree bevels on the short sides and an 82.8 degree bevel on the long side. The corner angles for the equilateral triangles are all 60 degrees. The corner angles for the pentagon triangles are (2x) 55.57 degrees and (1x) 68.86 degrees. The chord factors are 0.618 and 0.5465

This was exactly what also bother me. Those screws are specially made for metal in order to make the hole by screwing it, not good for wood at all, it will break the wood like he showed in the video.

yes i thought the same

I think that's just outside.

@@FireRupee lol

At the beginning of the video I show a photo of the finished dome. The dome had a radius of 1.3 meters so the diameter was 2.6. With 2v domes the height is the same as the radius.
