Hi folks,
someone knows where to find the diagram of this model?

Here's a bad try to diagram one of the 60 modules:



Good luck!

[notefolds]

Thanks for diagramming those, I'll definitely be trying this one.

Video is very instructive, why you asked for diagram?

[Daydreamer]

you can't print out videos

[fi-ori]

Because I had a doubt on step 7.
It seems different to me, but I thing that it can be skipped

[origami_8]

You are right, step 7 is different. That's what happens if you draw diagrams when you are half asleep... Just skip step 7 and you should be all right.

[Ondrej.Cibulka]

You know, I asked my question, cos I would like to hear that video is not better than "normal" diagram. I am very conservative in this case.

I just finished the ball, and i folded it including step 7.
In the video step 7 is included in another step. Its not possible to skip that step because it is essential to look the modules together.

thanks for the diagram, anna

No, in fact he is closing the modules otherwise than I thought initially. His locking mechanism is much stronger. I tried to make some diagrams for it as well, maybe I'm posting the picture later on, it is very bad drawn

Edit: OK, here it is:

As you can see in step 14, the pocket is on the inner layer and not on the outer one. You insert the flap (see step 13) as well as the loose flap that I initially folded in on step 7 of the old diagrams into this pocket, this gives a rather secure lock.

Well, and ignore the last drawing, just make 12 5-unit stars and join them together.
Like this:

Now I don't have more doubts, I'm ready to make the modules.

Thanks Anna

Great work, Anna. I send your diagram to my colleague. She is specialized to unit-origami and she will be very happy! thanks!

heh, i tried assembling this from memory after seeing it once, but i got it all wrong. about an hour or two's work down the drain. luckily, after seeing the video again, i was able to assemble the whole thing!!

[origamiman98]

yeah i did have some trouble on the flexi ball but i finally made it ! but the origami magic ball is way better you could find the flexi ball instruction video on youtube.com

[origamiman98]
