Bending LEGO plates to my will

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

This build is the third in a series.
The first is a dodecahedron: • An unbelievable LEGO b...
The second is a rhombicuboctahedron: • Building a LEGO sphere
This build is a curved approximation of an icosahedron: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Icosahe...
You may also recognize it as the the shape of the classic d20 in D&D. An icosahedaron has 12 vertices & 30 edges.
This video has a number of issues that I’m not particularly happy with-but I decided to release it anyway. Those issues partially stem from the filming process, but mostly it's the fact that the design isn't optimal, i.e. it needs to be improved and reincarnated. But I’m trying hard to not let perfection get in the way of showing you really interesting builds.
A couple of notes:
1. This build is 'studs in' because its curvature is fairly high, and this building technique bends more in that direction. It makes for an interesting look, although I'd love to see how big I have to make it in order to have the build be 'studs out'.
2. There was no hiding the fact that these plates have been part of a high stress build for many years. This meant that they have warped slightly in the direction of that stress (although you can't really tell by looking at them individually) and the plates have also lost some ‘clutch power’ (i.e. how snugly the studs fit inside other pieces). However neither of these facts are an issue once the build is fully assembled.
For builders who reuse their bricks over and over again, this degradation of the bricks is a non-starter, and I can appreciate that-it would make their normal building life difficult/unpleasant. For me, I am creating an icosahedron, and it will always be an icosahedron-so the warping of the bricks ultimately doesn’t matter. And as this build has survived many years, and yet still handled being torn apart, reassembled, spun, and rolled around--it just shows how tough and resilient these little bricks truly are. 😁

    That's a very interesting built, it got much larger than I anticipated from the beginning. Having the studs on the inside was a unique twist, also something I wasn't expecting. I also like how you kept in the small things when the bricks wouldn't cooperate properly and you had to fix things instead of editing it out and doing another take. Nobody is perfect, that's good to see.

Although not sure about Penrose tiling as the side have an irrational ratio between them. Glad to see you used green hinges, if you had used black I would have been worried you had gone to the Darkside and were using your power to bend LEGO plates to build a Deathstar.

    In the very earlier iterations of spheres I used far less stable building techniques. I had one sphere that literally exploded 40 or 50 times (plates flying everywhere) until I finally found a way to successfully construct it. But since then I have become very adept at managing that stress (and using more stable building techniques) so explosions are pretty rare fortunately/unfortunately 😄

    That might be possible with the same technique, problem is you need 3 different edge lengths for a geodesic dome and I'm pretty sure they're not related by rational factors so I think however big you made it it'd be a little bit out of round in places. Still would be cool.
