This is a pretty easy model, except for inserting the last tab! That can be hard, but, hey, practice makes perfect!

I've made one of these things before. You can also make them just out of waterbomb bases.

[FoldingFetish]

I think thats a different one. I saw one out of just waterbomb bases in the book. It doesn't have the cube-shaped compartment in the centre.

i dont know why everyone says putting it together was hard, it was the easiest assembly for modular origami i ever did, (they fit tight and stayed)

very cool doesnt do much but looks cool hanging from my celing

[TogrutaJedi]

I've made both versions; they have the same assembly pretty much, just a little variation of each other.

YAY like super... i then made triangles and did the same thing... and made a dodecahedron... no tape nor glue.. spaced out link:

theres also a rombicosidodecahedron cutout inside it... and a rubiks cube beside it... as you could have guessed this pic was not ment for this comment lol

[FoldingFetish]

:) Thats great! That thing would be really sturdy!

ok making it out of notecards its strong like wow... but i dint know at the time that putting the 4 tabs around would effect putting it together so much.... but i got it... i now have a notcard origami gyroscope but i had to tape the edges because the notecards are thicker and make alot of pressure
