[jonakashima]

@XxjerezxX there is a playlist on my channel with simple models only

[Ravanaboy]

Can you use any rectangle?

[jonakashima]

@Ravanaboy if not in correct proportion, the prisms may not fit perfectly

[Miepsi26]

Is it easier or more difficult than the five intersecting tetrahedra?

[jonakashima]

@Miepsi26 more difficult

[InuyashaFanOfAllTime]

I DID IT I MADE IT!!! IT TOOK ME 4 HOURS!!!!

[BringerOfTruth123]

I completed five intersecting tetrahedra but almost came to tears a few times. This one looks MUCH more difficult.

Thanks for the tutorial. I just made it and it wasn't as difficult as I thought it would be, there were only a few tricky parts in the process of closing the prismas, specially the last two.
