How to make an Origami Icosahedron - Triangle Edge modules

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

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!!

    @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.

    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!!

    When I construct it I always get to the last few pieces and then realise I have to put two of the same colour next to each other. I have made it successfuly once before but I think it was a fluke. How do I make sure I never get two colours the same next to each other?

  • @byBrandyn
    @byBrandyn13 жыл бұрын

    @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.
