Origami Compound of 5 Octahedra (Meenakshi Mukerji)

Difficulty: ★ ★ ★ ☆ ☆ (Intermediate)

In this video, I demonstrate how to fold an Origami Compound of 5 Octahedra designed by Meenakshi Mukerji. This is an excellent modular model, and it's not very difficult to fold! Enjoy the video!

Special thanks to Meenakshi Mukerji for granting me permission to create this video!
Please be sure to check out her latest book called "Exquisite Modular Origami!"

Is it possible to make this without my fist perforating the computer monitor?

Awesome job Evan - couldn't have been better! Your choice of model is also great because there are some steps where the unit becomes 3D and that's best shown in a video tutorial. I love the way you grey out the finished model and show only one octahedron in color at a time, bringing out the essence of the model! Thanks for making this video with so much care and patience!

Folding starts at 0:56 but beware before you start this. THIS WILL TAKE ALONG TIME

I've already made quite a few of the sonobe unit versions, which were quite easy to grasp after a bit of experimentation, however this is extraordinary! i will have to find time to sit down and construct 5 or 6 of these one Saturday afternoon/evening to perfect such an extraordinary model! challenge = accepted.

Thanks for the tutorial, I enjoy modular origami) It takes a lot of time to fold all the units, but thanks to the tutorial, I remembered the steps. The only one complication was to figure out the pattern and putting in the last unit, took me like 10 minutes))

Pretty cool tutorial. Well explained and very instructional. Thanks! :)

[ImmenseFox]

Damn this was time consuming as hell ! But i finally finished it and remember how to make the whole thing without watching a video. Doubt I'll ever make another one.

Excellent video. Clear instructions. I'm on my 5th piece and getting better. It would be nice if there were written instructions and pictures as a link as that would be easier to reference than having to forward and reverse through the video each time. Thanks.
