How to make an Origami Icosahedron - Triangle Edge modules

  • For quite some time I did not know the name (and as a result wasn't able to track down the diagram) of this modular classic. I first saw it on Mark Rowes's channel and already know for some time now that this regular icosahedron was made out of Triangle Edge Modules by Lewis Simon and Bennett Arnstein. It is a model that clearly has a spot in my personal hall of fame!!

    It took soooooo long to fold the peices, but I finally did it...and now I have to put them all together, greattttt

    Love this!! Made it out perfectly!! And it's EASY!!! For those who can't managed to combine the pieces, I suggest you try using a little glue. It helps to hold them together :)

    well.... this method is really nice n works well with icosahedron (30 pieces indicating 30 edges)
    I tried the same with tetrahedron which turned out very hard... but still I succeeded
    next Octahedron
    this one was harder than icosa but not as hard as tetra ....
    anyway thnku for the method
    really awesome

    Your shape would look better if all the seams were glued together and that you used a strong material such as cardboard, or even better, wood.

    @barbabellaatje I used a bit of glue for the model after sliding in the module, and it really helped when I went to add a bit of glue using the end of a pencil.
    I recommend doing what I did, maybe with a toothpick but only on the tucked in area.

    Also, I've noticed, that this module can be used for other tetrahedra. Have you made any other ones using this module?

  • @byBrandyn
    @byBrandyn 13 лет назад

    @Ransom90 There is a method but it's kinda hard to explain. If you look on one pentagon of the icosahedron you will see that around the edge three of the same colors will touch each other (I know that's really confusing). At :20 do you see how the icosahedron has 3 yellow units in the same place? That's the key if you don't want the same colors to touch. Just try your best to make each triangle the three different colors and you will eventually get it. Hope that helps.

  • @jferguson2011
    @jferguson2011 13 лет назад +1

    You're basically the only person on youtube that makes actually good origami tutorials :) My only complaint is that the music is too repetitive, maybe mix it up so you don't have to listen to the same bit over and over until your model is finished. And thank you for not speeding it up, everything is slow paced and easy to follow, and my model looks very nice!!

  • @Faithpop98
    @Faithpop98 13 лет назад

    @reymatt76 honestly, its not that hard to figure out. u know u started with the wrong side up if the color isnt on the outside. assume u start with white side up, and if its wrong, just do it over. or if u really cant stand to do that, just buy some double colored paper.

  • @Drachenbauer
    @Drachenbauer 7 лет назад

    you also can use 5 colors - 6 units of each color.
    then groüp all 5 colors around each corner.

  • @Kuro99star
    @Kuro99star 13 лет назад +1

    @reymatt76 I went ahead and did the first part after coloring one side. I found in order to fold with the color on the outside you have to start folding with the color side up. that way when you finish it is shown off to the world. Hope this helps you as it did me. :)

    Patience, people. That's all you need for this. Also, if you're trying a model that needs 30 modules- construct three or five of them and see if you're capable of putting them together. If you can't figure it out, you haven't wasted your other paper.

  • @Kuro99star
    @Kuro99star 13 лет назад

    @reymatt76 yeah no kidding. That's what I'm trying to figure out and I was going to use 5 colors anyway.

    The square can be any size alsong as ALL squares you use in the model are the same size. The squares are then cut in half to produce a 2:1 ratio rectangle :)
