Please visit http://thenanodots.com to buy Nanodots which are the best and highest quality magnetic balls on the market!

Ball count formulae (x ↔ pentagon side length):
f(x) = 30 ∙ x ∙ (x − 1) + 12

f(1) = 12
f(2) = 72
f(3) = 192
f(4) = 372
f(5) = 612
f(6) = 912
f(7) = 1272
f(8) = 1692
f(9) = 2172
f(10) = 2712

For the record, you can make a smaller version using 612 balls, just in case someone feels like buying 3 sets instead of 6.

@Spenckem If you look in the video description, you'll find the dot count formulae there for different sizes. You can use even less than 612 dots for a similar shape.

[Spenckem]

@szakiii ah i see, this is true, the amounts lower than 612 should be able to make a dodecahedron, but can they have the cool dented look?

[szakiii]

@Spenckem Yeah I think there's one or two that still look well.

@Tair77 Tell me something about yourself and send a picture :D

if lady gaga got a hold of nanodots...i think she would probably wear them like a mofo

[failloggerable]

OMG, just realised this is going to look like a football(not american)

[senadamira]

lets play socer now :D

OMG This is the music from FIFA 2003...haven't played it in like 8 years!

Deliberate allusion?

that is awesome

yes you can - I've made the same look out of my 216 set - it only took 180 balls :)
