Nanodots by Szaki 011 - Compact Form

Technically this was developed before 010 but ten is my favorite number so...

Balls used: 1289.
Time: 20 mins.

Music:
Skysurfer - Colors

Extended octahedron ball count formulae (x ↔ octahedron side length):
f(x) = (2 ∙ x³ + x) / 3


f(1) = 1
f(2) = 6
f(3) = 19
f(4) = 44
f(5) = 85
f(6) = 146
f(7) = 231
f(8) = 344
f(9) = 489
f(10) = 670

Truncated octahedron ball count formulae (k ↔ truncation side length):
k = [x / 3]
g(x, k) = (2 ∙ x³ + x) / 3 - k * (k + 1) * (2 * k + 1)

g(1, 0) = 1 *
g(2, 0) = 6
g(3, 1) = 13
g(4, 1) = 38 *
g(5, 1) = 79
g(6, 2) = 116
g(7, 2) = 201 *
g(8, 2) = 314
g(9, 3) = 405
g(10, 3) = 586 *
g(11, 3) = 807
g(12, 4) = 976
g(13, 4) = 1289 *

The same formulae expressed by k (x = 3 * k + 1, so it is regular):
h(k) = 16 * k³ + 15 * k² + 6 * k + 1

h(0) = 1
h(1) = 38
h(2) = 201
h(3) = 586
h(4) = 1289
h(5) = 2406
h(6) = 4033
h(7) = 6266
h(8) = 9201
h(9) = 12934

[deemoon304]

I would like to now one thing :

Cybercube, neocube and nanodots are the same thing ?

[szakiii]

@deemoon304 No, not at all. There's a huge difference between them in quality.

[ipodtouchacker]

@szakiii which one is best quality. i read nanodots are but after watching this vid of the neocube im wondering which one to get cuz the neocube looks easier to use/ form in this vid.

[szakiii]

@ipodtouchacker The guy in that video is simply experienced and has used magnetic balls for a while. He could do the same with other brands as well. The balls of all brands are very close to each other in diameter and strength that determines usability in general. What makes a huge difference is quality - how consistently they can manufacture balls with the same diameter and strength, and how durable coating they developed.

@szakiii thx. very helpful. so would u say the nanodots have the best quality then?

[szakiii]

@ipodtouchacker Yes.

[nicevideoonly]

Hey! Great videos! I'm waiting for the one grand design with all your spheres!!!

:)

[szakiii]

@SabrinaCorporation I'm not counting them one by one, it's just a simple calculation I do.

[theNANODOTS]

Brilliant build formula Szakii!

[GSA2605]

@szakiii No the best quality and vakue one is the zen magnets. are you crazy??

at all i liek your videos but can you put like make a round of 30 balls it will became easier to understod

[myroad2thezion]

EPIC waste of time.

[ipodtouchacker]

@szakiii thx. and btw i ordered a set online using ur code. thanks for the 10% discount!

[TheNintendoSpot]

god damb i only have 5 sets and you need 6 for this shape!!!
