How to make a Cotton Swab Icosahedron

In geometry, an Icosahedron is a regular polyhedron with 20 identical equilateral triangular faces, 30 edges and 12 vertices. It is one of the five Platonic solids.
You will need 30 Cotton Swabs & Hot glue.

    You saved my ass. I have a college project due next week that's basically building an overcomplicated geometric shape that makes us think of a song we like. I made this (a bit tricky in the corners, but I got there) and I'm gonna pick "Kids" from Stranger Things as the song for it. Thank you 10/10 awesome tutorial!

    That's cool. I googled 5 platonic solids... I see they are 4,6,8,10, and 20 sided. Makes me think of the facets that a diamond cutter creates,but I guess he's just covering a surface with multiple facets. Thanks.

    I have not made this, but I was lucky enough to move around inside one and I briefly looked at how it was made. This can be taken apart for transport and storage. You need 30 dowel rods. Calculate the dowel length by taking the desired height of the completed project (72 inches) and divide by the Golden Ratio (1.618) = about 44.5" However, if you are intending to move inside it, make it bigger, so you have room. I'd like one that is 6'8" tall (the height of a standard door), which means the dowels would be 49.44 " Find a hose that the dowels rods will fit into snugly. You might look in the plumbing section of a home improvement store, or in refrigerator replacement parts.) The dowels fit into bits of hose at the vertices of the icosahedron. The bits of hose were each a couple inches long. The vertices of the one I played with were sort of hot-glued-and-rubber-banded together. I don't remember if they used 5 short pieces, or 2 longer ones and 1 short one, to create each 5-part vertex. Let me know if you figure this part out! The flexibility of the hose will correct for some errors.

Since making this post, I enquired around and managed to find someone, they run a 3D shop and the joiners will be made from recycled plastic designed in a 3D printer, and will be able to transport. We are making it around 6’8 too. How did it make you feel when you inside it?

    @@swancrow6339 I was only in it for a moment or two, and I hadn't started studying LMA, so it wasn't as meaningful as it would be now. Are you willing to share where you are getting the connectors created? Also, I realized that the calculations I did above did not account for the connectors, and that those lengths might result in a slightly bigger icosahedron than intended.
