scaled octahedron; how to make it

[whispersinmyheart0]

woah im impressed!

[Crispman71]

you are cool

[splaterwizz]

Thank you so much i have made a red one and it was really easy apart from joining up the last one.

[splaterwizz]

Looks easy

[splaterwizz]

Wow this looks awesome and easy :)

[forrest0no]

Is it possible to make this using less pieces of paper?

[5meman]

pause at 6:50 christmas tree with no trunk

[Jupey82]

@dutchpapergirl Great video. Very clear. Just wanted to say thx. Have made one of my own watching this. Think I might make more :D

[skaterfugater]

Your bird in the background?

what kind of birdy is it?

[dutchpapergirl]

@skaterfugater All kind of birds...

[MrSeriouslynotfunny]

the sounds in the background made me sleepy ^^

[TheJapaneseGirlRoxz]

i like how u have what u need and stuff btw GREAT tutorial.

[victor606hk]

make it do what???

[123corven]

too much paper!

[alexGH2]

mine is 2in x 2in, 4in x 4in, 6in x 6in, and 6in x 1.5in

[LightHeartedMusician]

That's awesome! Thanks!

[Saskachewan]

Great tutorial :)

Have you also instructions for building other platonic solids [i.e. tetrahedron, icosahedron, dodecahedron], and Buckminster Fuller's cubeoctahedron [vector equilibrium]?

[dutchpapergirl]

not yet...

[ParagonOblivion]

I've got to say, this Octohedron is probably the only one I've seen so far that actually tickles my fancy, so to speak...

I love this style of the figure quite more than those... truncated, scaled octohedrons I've seen, doesn't quite feel the same...

Kudos~

[joeplay101]

thats cool

[DIExFORxAxCOOKIE]

je bent ziek bezig. (positief hoor =D)

hoelang doe je dit al? XD

kei vet ^^

[jplastow]

thats not an octahedron thats a gyroscope

[erancounicidade]

you must say thank so.

[FinTricker]

man thats cool!! I'm gonna try it out :)

[ChimeraFox181]

THank you!!! Makin' 1 4 my math project!!

[ChimeraFox181]

i'm makin' one4 math class today. Its a BIG help on our octahedron project! THank You!!

[icyfreeze209CP]

i heard birds....

[stirruped]

Thanks so much! I've made two of these before and am about to start on another... BIG one!

Beautiful.

[sdmf6266]

what size are the connecting struts?

[dutchpapergirl]

see 0:48

[sdmf6266]

oh thank you im sorry i must have been really tired that day

[Niskiss]

Proportionates?

I think that's it.

[Randibuckyou]

Do I have to use those exact measurements?

[dutchpapergirl]

no, but you have to use the same .... I don't know the word for it at the moment ...

[Randibuckyou]

lolz okay thnx =]

[stirruped]

ratio

[Saskachewan]

@dutchpapergirl:

Exact sizes don't matter, only proportions matter. So, you can rescale it whatever you like, as long as you remain proportions 1:2:3 of the squares. The connecting struts are 3 x 3/4. Mine was 3cm, 6cm, 9cm and 9cm x 2.25cm.

[musicmixer112]

@dutchpapergirl its "proportions"

[Preytor13]

@dutchpapergirl

i think the word you're looking for is proportions? :)

[powerbuttin888]

proportions?

[ampli5er]

@dutchpapergirl

same scale

[commanderkiwi6]

@dutchpapergirl I think you mean similar.

[diddlybop]

@Randibuckyou it has to be scaled the same, for example, 6 pieces are 5 cm 6 pieces are 10cm and 6 are 15cm, so you don't have to use 5 10 and15 but they have to be on a 1:2:3 ratio, like 6cm 12 cm and 18 cm

[roflcopter414]

yay i made one myself in a few hours! thanks!

[Joshman12314]

haha THANK YOU!!!!

i spent liek 3 days looking for how to make it

[roflcopter414]

shes a girl..

[someonesomewherelily]

thnk u now i can finish my project =)

[methoe]

so great :X

[fade2red88]

thanks

[Alquimia92]

that was so Great =D

I'll try it later X3

thank's for the vid XD

[stirruped]

Hi Dutchpapergirl,

I have just this minute completed a scaled octahedron -my first 3d origami model. It isn't quite as neat as yours but damn cool nonetheless. I'm going to hang it from my lampshade.

Thanks so much for instructional video! I couldn't have done it with out you. Peace.

[elpequejp]

you are a great teacher!! :)

i'll try to do that

[dutchpapergirl]

I hope you'll have fun!!!

[heheohno]

beautiful video

[jnevins]

Lovely! Having the birds sing while you silently folded was perfect...Well done!

[shikery1]

so are the rectangle connecters 1/4 of the 15x15 sheets of paper? and love the video

[dutchpapergirl]

yes they are.

[Saskachewan]

@shikery1:

I've used 3cm, 6cm, 9cm rectangles and 9cm x2.25 cm connectors grouped on one and a half of A4 paper sheets. 6 smallest on a corner in 3x2 grid, next 3 middle boxes in a line. Below them all: 3 big boxes in a line - first one ends where the 3 smallest ends, second ends in a half of second middle, and third ends where middle ones ends. Below them all are 3 remaining middle boxes. 3 remaining big boxes on another sheet.

[Saskachewan]

@shikery1 (part 2):

Connectors are aligned on one side of the big boxes. Their width is the same as a side of the big box, and four of these strips make also a side of the big box. So I could align some of them on the remaining part of the first sheet, and the rest on the second sheet. Neat logistics rulz ;)

[2NThuy]

thank you so much!

[felix8277]

great vid..and i liked your background birds its relaxing...

[dutchpapergirl]

you can buy the cd...

[knguy5]

How long are the connected struts? 15c through What? Sorry,i couldn't see, the light was blocking. =)

[dutchpapergirl]

the same lenth as the paper.

[kirbymaster10]

im gonna make on right now!

[kirbymaster10]

very magnificent... i love it... 5 stars. im gonna make one really soon

[KillerRedRobot]

I'm hooked! Love your work.

[perines]

excelente!!!....

[MRxMADxMONKEY]

I'm going to start making one tomorrow morning. =) That's so cool, thank you for uploading this! Love your videos. ^^

[Astralnaut]

Magnificient work!
