This is an assembly video for a truncated icosahedron made from toothpicks and 3D printed parts. The 3D printed part model is available on Thingiverse (www.thingiverse...)
@@wrsatl - but the white nodes have the proper angles for the links. If you try to do it with styrofoam balls you will need a guide or jig. I'll research that and edit this comment.
Is the openings for the tooth picks a "equal" triangle?" Thinking if these "dots" can be made alot larger out of like aluminium, taking a 1 inch dowel or pipe.
+Moronicsmurf The openings for the toothpicks are not co-planer and one of the openings is at a different angle than the other two so I am pretty sure the answer to your question about "equal" triangle is no. The design could certainly be scaled up though. You could make one large node (or "dot") and cast duplicates to make the full buckyball.
Awsome idea 👍wish you sold these? Not all of muggles have the funds to buy a 3d printer 😊... also maybe do one big enough for standard school pencils ? Would be great for teachers and pupils?
@@JohnGuest45 - BUT the links have to be at a certain angle. Remember, the poster says "the hole with the mark" is for connecting the pentagons. Pause the video at 0:58 and 0:59
@@robertgraybeard3750 The angles are very easy as all the hubs are identical. A simple jig is all you need. Draw a circle the same size as the washer on a piece of paper. Using a protractor, make a mark/line in red pen at the top of the circle (0 degrees). Measure 124 degrees down on both sides of your red mark/line and make 2 blue marks/lines. The blue marks are where you connect the pentagon struts and the red one is where you connect the hexagon struts. The struts are all the same length so you dont have to worry.
90 toothpicks, it is a Truncated Icosahedron (Buckyball) so from Wikipedia "It has 12 regular pentagonal faces, 20 regular hexagonal faces, 60 vertices and 90 edges."
They don't really have a name (I refer to them as nodes) they are my design and are 3D printed. You can download the 3D model for 3D printing from Thingiverse. There is a link to the Thingiverse page in the description of this video.
They are 3D printed parts. A link to model is in the video description. You can 3D print them yourself or order the parts from 3Dhubs or a similar service.

from where you get these white nodes

Or, you could use small styrofoam balls. Cheaper and faster, though not as strong.

Or you can just use thermocol balls..lol,saves the pain...!
Can we make balls by using clay?
what is this white thing and from where we get

Bro i can't make 3d model of nodes can ypu please suggest buying link
Its incredible
Wow this is really good! Keep up the good work!

Use 2 washers and double sided foam tape to make the hubs. .

is this a rhombiscoidodecaherdron?
No
Can you suggest a 3D printer for printing the nodes.
No, I don't have any guidance on that.
how many sticks did u use and how many pentagon and hexagons are there
90 toothpicks, it is a Truncated Icosahedron (Buckyball) so from Wikipedia "It has 12 regular pentagonal faces, 20 regular hexagonal faces, 60 vertices and 90 edges."
@@ScorchWorks thank u soo much
Where do you buy like the little nodes?
I 3D printed them. A link to where you can download the model is in the video description.
what is the name of that white circle

can someone please tell me how to find the white nodes without 3D printing
There are companies that will make them for you. Click the "Order This Printed" button on the Thingiverse page. www.thingiverse.com/thing:629977

this white node made with plastic or not... or another material..?? plz tell the original thing
The white things are 3D printed plastic. I made mine out of PLA plastic.
Alguien que sepa español y me diga de qué material son las bolitas blancas
Can you just suggest me where I can get the white nodes. Plz. It's urgent.

quais materiais usados ?
PLA
Sir what is the name of white colored round things which u used in the video
All the information is in the video description. They are 3D printed parts. The design is available on Thingiverse.
Como se llama esas tapitas blancas porfa algien q me avise
No se
Yo misma quiero saber
what is the name of this ball
Its full name is buckminsterfullerene but it often goes by buckyball or C60
yo yo craft show show IT’S A BUCKYBALL

How many. Pentagon do you created
12
Thanks...
But i will do it with matches
how many toothpicks and nodes are required
60 nodes, 90 toothpicks
the video is too fast 😢
