Interlaced Stars (Zen Magnets)

Made with 7119 Zen Magnets. Whew, this one was tough! This is an interlaced combination of two of my previous shapes: the Small Stellated Dodecahedron, and the Spiky Star.

Unlike the two "Interlaced Polyhedra" shapes I've done, this is supported by two sets of spokes connected to an inner core, like the Dual-Spoked Polyhedron.

@MegaMayhemPerplexer Magnet smoke - don't breathe this!

@animesquirt For one thing, they're cheaper than Nanodots. Also, despite the price difference, I think that Zen Magnets are slightly higher quality, in terms of coating durability and size uniformity. To be fair, there are people who would say it's the other way around, and Nanodots are certainly not lacking in quality... I just find that Zens perform a little better, especially when it comes to the big complex shapes.

Another great thing is that Zen Magnets gives away LOADS of free magnets.

My brain cannot comprehend this shape!!

cant wait for mine tommorow so excited!! :DD

[Magnenaut]

@animesquirt They're very similar, yes. I personally prefer Zen Magnets, but there are also people who prefer Nanodots. There are also Buckyballs and Neocube, but those are definitely much lower quality.

Good this is certianly a good hobby instead of drinking and would not

[saxplayingcompnerd]

Incredible. I would add this as a video response to some random icosahedron frame video that has a couple thousand views, because you're using the same frame idea, just alot more complex.

cool thanks for the link. I'm very tempted to buy some, but they seem to be the only magnet-ball company which doesn't have a colour variety. Guess I'll have to mix and match...

[topproductions]

Dont mind the haters, you are a genious ... those would be tricky in cad

[Begbietheradge]

i'm just clicking one after another. i wanna buy that thing!

[Magnenaut]

@saxplayingcompnerd Good call about the video response. Funnily enough, though, there's not actually an icosahedron to be found in this shape!

Now I understand Why u Went to med school:) first of all Goodluck iam sure youll succeed :) and the shapes you made really need 3D vision and some A LOT OF brightness/ Smartness dude u have it:)..!!!

I leave it up to you future scientists to come up with new super molecules using magnets.

[Schindlabua]

First I was like JESUS thats awesome, then I looked at the zenmagnet homepage and was like JESUS thats expensive

[Magnenaut]

@oED209o Well, if you're not using Zen magnets, that's why they didn't let you into the group! You have to already have some Zen magnets, and take pictures of the shapes you make with them.

[cactuswarp]

You have a LOT of patience to make that

[michaeldanielpaisleyhender]

Since you have such an interesting life, what do you do, and where can I find the youtube videos of you doing it?

[ConsciousDistortion]

You're making us all look dumb! lol, well done man

[supercalafraggrenade]

See now this is the kind of thing I have absolutely no patience to make
