Five Intersecting Tetrahedra (Thomas Hull)

How to make the Five Intersecting Tetrahedra, designed by Thomas Hull
Presented here by Jo Nakashima with permission of the creator

Difficulty level: easy to make the modules, very hard to assembly

My paper: 9cm x 3cm each module (30 sheets)
Don't know the name of this paper in english, it is some kind of thick foil paper (cartolina laminada em português)


My old video with complete assembly:

How to fold thirds (if you have squares, you'll need to cut into thirds to get the starting rectangle):

@crazyorigami4

at 3:27: the mountain fold on the left unit also folds the little corner of the right unit (wich is inside the pocket). This fold locks the units together

@XxPharaohAtemxX in Brazil it is very easy to find in any stationery. Don't know about US...
