I’ve been playing with this for a long time. As you can tell from the third photo, it’s a variation of a sonobe unit - my favorite! :D What I like about this is that, typically, I think about the thirty unit sonobe models as icosahedrons because of the triangular faces. This model, however, presents wavy pentagons - so I think of it as a dodecahedron.
It’s not the tightest connection, but it’s stable, and I was able to put it together with no paperclips, a markéd improvement over the previous version. Unfortunately, it doesn’t seem to have the flexibility to form the octahedron or the tetrahedron (assuming a triangular face shape instead of the wavy pentagon).
There was a quote I saw FOREVER ago that I’ve not been able to find, but it was from Gjerde, and it was basically saying that if something you create has been created before, that’s okay. You still went through the process. I don’t know if anyone else has made this - I’m still happy because I did. If no one else claims it or can point me in the right direction, I think I’ll call it the Grace Sonobe.
Please ignore the detritus on my work space. I swear it’s all necessary, and not just because I clutter.
