Build a folded paper icosahedron

Navigation


Build a folded paper icosahedron I would recommend anyone who is interested in building geodesic dome structures to start by building a few paper models before moving on to larger more expensive projects. The icosahedron is the basis for many dome structures and these instructions will show you how to a 1v geodesic sphere, this might be quite a simple or even crude sphere but you can learn a lot about the way more complex domes are built by studying this fascinating solid. 1) First print the image below as large as you can on a single piece of paper or card. 2)Now cut around the dotted lines and make a fold on all the solid lines ready to start glueing the sphere together. 3)Carefully glue and join all the tabs to form a finished icosahedron. If you build this successfully you try building a 3 frequency paper model Have fun.
