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.

This is awesome! I'll definitely do this for my Geometry assignment. Thanks for the idea!
This is such a pretty shape. I love pentagons.
Oh, Yes!! I'm so using this for my Laban Movement Analysis studies!
Thank You So Much....I was very tensed about how I will make the project but you made it easy and simple..... Thanks a lot.....
Neat. This opens up all kinds of ideas for simple things to make.
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!

Can't Wait To Make This And Share With My 7 yr. young Niece. I Thank You For Sharing♦️💚
great job this was a fun project to do
Beautiful! ❤️
Would do it to assign my kids!
Thank you so much, this project is made easy to do, no rulers or pens needed. 🎉
Easy to make, also simple
AMAZING!!
OMGGgggg !!!!!!!! That's Awesome !!!! Many thanks !!!👍
U r work is very awesome!! For best results which gum should be used????
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.
The principle which you used was very simple
pretty cool!
U r so good! Thanks!
Cool never did anything like it
Simple and nice.
Can I use this to make head of a BACTERIOPHAGE ???
genius! by the way i want a truncated icosahedron(football)
as well as the s called the glue gun?
cosplay research takes you to the weirdest places
SO COOL!
Thank you!
realy cool :)
almost worked but I didn't do a pentagon at the start I did a hexagon

Plain ole white glue
I always get a room full of gluey spiderwebs when I use my hot glue gun.
Tq for my model 😍🤗
any help on how i can make a 6ft one of these that i can stand in?

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.

@@anniejuan1817 Thanks a lot! 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.
Yes.
I suggest using wooden ones cuz the plastic ones I used just disintegrated

You would need 600 dollars to make one out of juuls. Not including tax
Dont use superglue
is Platonic solids lend to justice and democracy?
can you make a video for C60
Wow
Now you need to truncate it somehow
and can you try to do it a little slower thanks
