NANODOTS Tutorial #9: Stellated Icosidodecahedron

[ShadowNinjaRHG]

Sure have alot of time doncha?

[captainbarbie23]

2 persons dont have nanodots

[YuneShik]

ffs i only have 216 of these but u need 1500 for this??? i will never be able to make this!!

[SuperNoobdude]

you people and ur long words

[OMFGWTFLOLZ100]

Can you make a miniature version with 1 neocube? (216 dots)

[1AwesomeLiam1]

@OMFGWTFLOLZ100 ya pweeeeeeeeeeeeez



[TheHerbRoller]

is this your job

[de50aemr]

please make more tutorials

[TheNeoMr]

In your other vid you added pentagons.....

[spider101abc]

you should talk more and tell them how to make it, how many to use and what they are.

[spider101abc]

U should talk more and tell them how to make it how many to use and what they are.

[remotetissue1]

@spider101abc Even though you changed U to you... you dont need to comment twice :)

[AGENTSHENANIGANS]

that shape is just a polyhedron thats inside out :) nice job

[ACESHIGH575]

how would you go about making this, but smaller? say in the range of 1000 dots

[dom199]

you sir have skills

[YoyoBandalore]

From what I've found Googling, this is a rhombic hexecontahedron, a rhombic triacontahedron stellation.

[koffiejuffrouw]

respect for the fact that you made a mistake and still had the balls to upload this video

[effUhard123]

the ending was the most amazing part ;]

[roverrider]

Ahhh I wanna make it but I cannot afford that many! I found on Amazon another type, same thing, alittle bit cheaper.

[8n4n08]

I had worked-out the "flower" part, made 12 and attempted to connect them 4 times; had failed untill now, thanks.

[mixindave1]

this video is all time and money for the average person

[epicjpanda]

looks pretty heavy....

[Bioniclefan21]

Nice ill give 5/5

[bigcorns64]

where can i find that song?!?!?

[lordofthe6string]

can I just say that you said this is a tutorial for the one in your other video, but the other one is different because it has like extra bits sticking out of the indentations. It's still cool though, I can't wait to try these things out :3

[norxcontacts]

Took you long enough.

[AjaxService]

You've found a cash cow idea! YouTube + crap bullets = A buch of cash! Congratulations! ;)

[mashafasha5]

You have a great taste in music

[OurGreedIsOurDisasta]

I love how you put it down, let it standing there all beautiful

and then SMASH IT!

[Kakerville]

ur very talented(: thanks a lot, im working on one for me, so far so good(:

[Valinxh]

You shouldn't smash them like you do in the end of the video, the magnetic charge weakens from impacts

[Soulrider2012]

@Valinxh No, this is a myth. These, like most small sphere magnets are Neodymium magnets and as such they do not lose their magnetism due to shock or impact especially not from something simple as crushing them with your hand. About the only things that will demagnetize Neodymium magnets are very high temperatures and time. They will last a long long time but over a very long period of time they do gradually lose their magnetism.

[Soulrider2012]

@Valinxh No, it doesn't. The only thing that will weaken Neodymium magnets are time ( a very LONG time) and excessive heat. You'd have to heat them up to something like 300 degrees C in order to cause demagnetization, sorry. The simple act of crushing a shape after making it does nothing but possibly help wear out the coating faster.

[Anothercoilgun]

@Soulrider2012

Blah blah just sit and keep silent.

[ItchyWitchMakeupArt]

i want to make this so i can sound intelligent and say "check it out. I made an icosidodecahedron."

[anthcybo]

Icosahedron = 20 sided polyhedron , dodecahedron = 12 sided polyhedron. Icosidodecahedron = you made up a word for fun?

[IEatGlu]

@anthcybo icosidodecahedron = 32 sides -.-

[MrDrakulaS]

@IEatGlu Hey, if i want to buy one, but i live outside the US, how long does it take till it arrives to - Netherland? :o

[greasemonkeypol]

@IEatGlu its triantadiedron = 32 sides...

trust me.

[whatnowpunk1106]

5:50 what the...bwahaha right after you did detail.

[TheDevan1998]

kool looks kinda fragial though



[NobreCursos3D]

i like it... it's not funny if you dont smash it at the end!

[DeathboyXD]

zen magnets are good =)

[RandomChick539]

its funny how people think you cant do this AND have a job...when there sitting on the computer ll day not getting off their butts to find a job.haha!

[theinzanechicken]

Nice tutorials, but it would be better if you wrote how many dots you used in each video :)

5/5

[IEatGlu]

@theinzanechicken read. the. description.

[theinzanechicken]

@IEatGlu Oh sorry :)

[happybirthday453]

@theinzanechicken well, actually, there are less than 1500 magnets. some of the points on the final structure share a "point" magnet

Magnets used:

Each rhombus = 1+ 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 4 + 3 + 2 = 24

60 rhombuses = 60 x 24 = 1440

plus 20 "point" magnets

1440 + 20 = 1460

[GharbharanDinant]

@theinzanechicken there are no stupid questions just stupid people like you

[blackfool101]

song???

[MrDavidBenavent]

where do you get those things

[EvPointMaster]

@MrDavidBenavent

search in the internet, there are cybercubes, neocubes, nanodots .... but I can't tell you which are the best, because I have only the neocubes, but they are good.

[Origamiboy97]

ooooo pretty hah

[theNANODOTS]

Impressive and well orchestrated. We can relate to a passion for geometry.

[riotpoliec]

i figured out how to do it before the video came out! but, all in all, nice video!~ CHUCK NORRIS WOULD HAVE BEEN PROUD!

[izzyman529]

there is another way to do this that i have found. you take a pentagon and turn it into a star by butting extra magnets on the sides that decrease in number by one every row and sticj 12 of those together.

[IEatGlu]

that way definitely does work and its great if you don't have this many magnets but I like the look of this one better. The individual rhombi look pretty cool imo

[izzyman529]

yeah i agree, im just suggesting an alternative way. i also just got my mega set in the mail yesterday (1728) so if i combine my sets into one i cuols probably make one bigger that you show (i have 2180 currenty and 222 more on the way :D)

[Snorney]

Which brand of magnets do you own and which do you prefer?
