Making icosahedron with 3d pen

The Icosahedron is the most complex of all the platonic solids. This video is a step-by-step tutorial on how to make one with your 3d pen, including drafting the pattern, two ways to assemble it, and several design variations. Great information for artists, STEM teachers, art teachers, homeschooling parents, crafters, and all 3D pen enthusiasts.

I made my own 3D pen Christmas tree with the help of your techniques " Merry Christmas to all, season greetings and happy holidays" 🦌🦌🦌🦌🎅

Glad to hear it worked for you. My 2023 Christmas video should be out in the middle of next week. Possibly too late to do this years project but there is always next year. Merry Christmas! :)

WOW! If I was a geometry teacher I would assign this as a project for my students over break. I just realized that this is the first time I have fully understood platonic solids and specifically the icosahedron. Three dimensional objects need to be seen in 3d

There is nothing like putting something 3d together yourself to really get to know it personally. :)
