>>623807 Do you have the book with the open frame cube? I had it a while ago, but lost it How many inits did it take to make the menger sponge? I like the colorplay on the middle star
>>623809 >open frame cube not sure which you're referring to
>sponge don't have a diagram, saw a pic of it and messed around till I had a product, the color pattern is also my own but I don't have a diagram anymore. Unit is very similar to a Phizz unit. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NlcMwXUqmuI with slight modification you can use these units to make a cube. once you have that you can make the sponge.
You may want to check the "origami books" thread now and then, I'm trying to share my collection little by little everyday, so you might find something cool there
There is some of chinese origami, a compilation of Mikiller觅晨 designs, took them from Zhezhixueyuan before site shutdown, hope you guys enjoy. The .txt files are his own words/posts on the chinese dragon, some tips how to fold it better, I just did not translated it.
This is by far the best modular origami book i have, ask if you want more https://archive.org/details/TomokoFuseUnitOrigamiFantasyv2japanese/page/n67/mode/2up
>>623807 beautiful collection man, and I love the color choices. Idk if the other anon asking about the diagrams was curious about the same model, I'm wondering if you have a diagram for the colourful ring next to the rainbow cube ring (the one mentioned here >>623812), the big circle thingy. Looks amazing.
>>623818 seconding as well, the models look really really neato ಥ ͜ʖಥ
also wanted to share a pdf that got me started with modular origami but it exceeds the 8mb upload size is there a good file sharing website without needing to make an account?
>>623815 Does anyone have this book's full version? All the pdf's i found are from page 9 onwards, but the diagrams for the cube units are on page 8, so I can't find nor make them. Even youtube doesn't have a video tutorial specifically for tomoko fuse's cube so I'm at a loss. I know they may be quite basic but I can't figure out how to make them.
>>623824 The tutorial is much appreciated, I've never heard of PHiZZ units before, should be fun
>>623825 thanks! I haven't downloaded it yet so I couldn't check, but I'll do so now
>>623826 oh man, whooooops I decided I'd do them from easiest to hardest so I didn't even think to check at the very end of the book. Thanks a lot for letting me know!
Resurrecting this thread for the new year >>623846 That's an original model, I'm calling it the Snapping Turtle Do any of you have any wips or recently finished pieces
>>623867 What exactly do you mean by blueprints? If you mean folding diagrams, then download any of the pdfs in this thread. If you mean an overall plan of how the project will come together, then you need to consider size and material. >as big as i can is pretty vague. The largest (origami) paper I can find in stores is 35cm, but the length will likely exceed that on the finished model.
>>623871 Not American so that trick doesn't work - but I have made F.I.T a good number of times, and a few other wireframes like 10 intersecting triangles and Makalu. But they all have a) not too many units and b) are easy ratios like 1:3 and 1:4 etc. Not some madness like 1.1354453:5.51123121 or whatever bonkers ratios some models require
Recently completed this out of sonobe units! Simple, a bit fragile and wonky, but lots of pieces. Looking for good models to make out of the rest of the ~100 units in my calendar.
>>623877 How many units is that? By my count/estimate I'm getting 264 or 288. I never really like square builds for sonobes, but your folds and assembly are very clean. Well done
>>623878 >>623879 Thank you anons. I believe it took a total of 168 units if my math is correct. it's not very visible due to the angle I took the picture, but this is essentially a 3-d "#" symbol.
I will admit that I used tape on some of the interior joints so that it stays together -- this is living in my office, so I don't want a curious coworker feeling bad for it falling apart if they pick it up!
To calculate the number of Sonobe units in a given model, I usually just count the number of right triangular "faces", i.e. where the unit fits into another. Each unit has exactly two, and as long as every "pocket" is filled, each right triangular face counts for 1/2 of a unit. Each square face counts for 1 unit.
If I had to do it again, I would use a sonobe variation instead so that the units fit together more tightly, but I used simple units so that the sudoku puzzles would be more visible.
>>606379 The two short answers are 1. experiment and 2. flickr 1. While some things are designed with certain configurations in mind, most kusudama (and especially sonobes) can fit together in a variety of different unit configurations. So the easiest thing before you invest in a project is to consider how many units make up one face or vertex and see how they look together. 2. Flickr has a great origami community and is a good starting point to look for inspiration and often times artist will have instructions or cps for their models. Also with practice you can figure out how to reverse engineer models from pictures and notes about the model. picrel: https://flic.kr/p/2mbMt8f 90 unit sonobe dodecahedron. most any sonobe will do.
>>623882 Very beautiful anon! How did you manage to hold together that pseudo-Sierpinski cube? It seems to hold its shape very well. Are those sonobes?
Also, do you have instructions for the three kusudamas in the bottom middle (dodecahedron and 20/12(?) pointed stars)?
It's pretty sturdy, but it's mostly held together by compression, unlike the Torus >>623824 which you can pick up and throw around without it falling apart. The main issue with the cube is that it's only really stable once it's fully complete so it's quite easy to fuck it up during construction.
Made a flexiball a while back and had to glue the units together in the end, otherwise it would just fall apart. Also had to reassemble it a couple of times because I'm a dumbass and don't know how to follow instructions. One thing I learned from this is I probably shouldn't deviate from the instruction in terms of color/pattern because it makes the process so much harder for me.
I know it's been 3 years, but I gotta point out how incredible it is to make this model, so cleanly, out of newsprint. Honestly wondering if it's photoshop.
>>628028 I'll expand on this when I get home, but a sonobe is one type of modular unit. There are many different variations on the sonobe and some units that have a sonobe-like shape. There are also tons of other types of modular units.
I'm looking for diagrams for modular 2D stars that really hold without glue. My flagship here is Maria Sinayskaya's Braided Corona star. You know what I mean! But you have to try it out anew each time. So I'm folding my way through the 2D star world—always looking for new models. I'm specifically looking for diagrams or video tutorials for stars that can't be found by simply Googling (sorry. My search skills aren't sufficient beyond Googling, ChatGPT, and this 4chan board). These include:
Maria Sinayskaya: Brina Star, Camilla Star, Susanna Star, Tereza Star,
Evan Zodl: Interstellar, Maria's Star, and other stars!
Usman Rosyidhi: Deca Star; Rotari Star, Sturroya Star
Maximilliano Ortiz: both star books
etc.
Last but not least, the stars are for an already successful, ongoing social project. I have no personal commercial interest in this, but I would like to expand my portfolio for the project.
>>628055 I don't get the question. lot of magazines vary in thickness. Those squares are almost thicker than I can use. It is a free travel mag so they are trying to look fancy. Here it is before I finished it and square of it
