Tutorial: Icosahedron Frame (Zen Magnets)

This is my first how-to video, so suggestions are welcome!

Nice job. Your magnetic sculptures are awesome. Thanks for sharing.

Been so long since I've watched yt again... glad to be back

Amazing technique. I really like the reinforcement pentagons.

[dhochee]

Awesome. A useful tip would be to mention that if you're going to use shorter edges, you need an add number per side. I initially tried with 10 and the edges wouldn't connect correctly.

@MrZiliuks 1620 for this shape, but you can make it using far fewer magnets if you shorten the edge pieces.

[Magnenaut]

@koozdra Thanks! I honestly can't remember if I saw them somewhere or if I came up with the idea myself, but they really do help hold the shape together.

However, this magnetic balls are pretty expansive! You're very rich one :)

[HenriqueFoletto]

Very nice, thanks for making it! Do you know the Difference between Zen Magnetics and Neocube? I heard that Zen magnetics are better, but Why? Thanks a lot in advance.

All of your creations are amazing But i tried to make the frame but the lines weren't strong

[FFDPforever]

i am planning on making all of your tutorials but i need about 500 dollars first

[MrZiliuks]

how many magnets have you used in this work?

[kwelchans]

Can you do a truncated icosahedron (soccer ball) frame?

[FFDPforever]

how many of these magnets do you have?

[ayay]

i made a very small one with only 420 magnets its with 12 subunits

@piotao Haha, less rich than you might think. I've won several free sets of magnets by submitting pictures to the Zen Magnets Gallery on Flickr.
