[@joselinabueno7142]

I can't imagine how calming this much be.

[@Mr.Puzzle]

Hi Joselina, I can confirm it really is! 😁

[@joselinabueno7142]

Nice!

[@user-qv7iy5hh9x]

Dude, I love your channel. You honestly deserve more subs

[@Mr.Puzzle]

Thanks! 😊

[@NelsonBuck]

Can we buy the kit already made??? I do not have a 3D printer yet

[@Mr.Puzzle]

Hm, let me double check about the cost and shipping!

[@harrisonr3456]

Mr.Puzzle I would also like to know

[@TrafficsKindaBad]

wait, it's 2017 and you don't have a 3D printer? What's wrong with you?

[@justkyla1574]

“Yet” XD

[@SweetInner]

TrafficsKindaBad no you

[@shivamvaid601]

This puzzle isnt tough but the rubber band placement is important to remember. Good one.

[@shivamvaid601]

And its 30 rubber bands if I counted right

[@Yamattack1]

I love your videos so much. For some reason I love them more when I’m high. Most of these blow my mind that you can do them so well.

[@metawarp7446]

Isn't this a football with edges? Like if the black would be white and white black it would look like a real football... (Soccer for Americans)

[@SimonDoer]

yes, a classical football consist of exactly these tiles. However they are out of synthetic leather ( i think), so when you blow it up it forms a ball.

[@Mr.Puzzle]

Yes!

[@thewoflantor2387]

Football makes more sense tho

[@huddoj5911]

Soccer for Australians too

[@dmauldin7615]

Thewoflantor 2 eh different opinions for different people and most UK citizens call it football most American citizens call it soccer

[@azurehemlock]

I stayed up till 7 am to watch this and I do not regret my decision

[@Mr.Puzzle]

You stayed up!? 😀

[@bunky97]

Awesome job on the puzzle!

[@Mr.Puzzle]

Thanks Josh!

[@sketch2620]

At 3:30 you should have stopped adding to that bowl-shape. Set it aside, then build a separate bowl-shape with the remaining pieces. Once you have 2 half-shells, fit them together.

[@WszystkoZajeteOMG409]

For me it was easier to make one half and just add pieces. It was really unstable till I got 3/4 of shape.

[@MrZylix-6]

This was really cool and it looks Awesome and with the colors you chose it looks like an inverted-color football

[@captain-Dan]

that's pretty cool, something a little different.

[@Mr.Puzzle]

Thanks!

[@Mulakulu]

I think there are only 30 rubber bands. not 32. I found this in two ways. Each black piece had 3 rubber bands in each cross section and each rubber band went through 2 black pieces each. there were 20 black pieces so 20*3/2 is how many rubber bands there are. Each white piece held 5 rubber bands each and there were 12 white pieces but again, each rubber band touched two white pieces each so 5*12/2 is how many rubber bands there are.

[@Mr.Puzzle]

You are right of course. I have no idea why I mentioned 32. 😁

[@Paghira74]

i like your math^^

[@Make-Asylums-Great-Again]

I like weird people.

[@demontrent10653]

WOW~!!!This'z like a 3D science project,SOOOOOOOOOOOOO...~COOL,Mr.~Puzzle~!!!:"3

[@amandarahardjo4461]

Kind of fitting to be watching this the night before a Virology exam.... XD

[@jasonh8353]

For those of us that don't have 3D printers how can we order or obtain this puzzle?

[@Mr.Puzzle]

I will see if I can realize something.

[@ErikOosterwal]

This is a very nice set of shapes to play with. It would be very simple to make this a true puzzle by marking the sides of each shape in a way that you have match the marks on each side. This could be done with colors, numbers, notches and protrusions, or you could even attach magnets in the sides that would hold everything together when assembled correctly and push everything apart at the mismatched sides.

[@solidsnake9562]

This is freaking awesome

[@ruanlian]

Nicely done :)

[@PatPat0512]

This is so cool!

[@SkyFellowship]

This looks like a massive ball ache. Respect for doing it on video. I can't help but think you should drop it while using a slow mo cam to see it just implode and explode all over.

[@Mr.Puzzle]

Good idea, I'll try to put this on my facebook page.

[@shirubaurufu]

Implode and explode are oxymorons (meaning they are oposites), therefore they can't happen at the same time. So it cannot implode and explode, but it can implode or explode.

[@cxpKSip]

​@@shirubaurufuA dying star implodes under its own weight, then explodes as everything either zips past, hits the center and bounces back, or enters the resulting black hole.

[@FedJimSmith]

nice puzzle - hand exercise for children

[@lolsquid0]

The ultimate rubber band ball... I WANT IT

[@kyleguajardo]

That's a heck of a way to make a D20.

[@cxpKSip]

It isn't even technically a d20, it is more like a d36...

[@ethanl.1699]

He should make a commercial version and have producers sell it

[@bigdamnhero8155]

awesome 👏👏👏👏

[@Mr.Puzzle]

Thanks!

[@LogicalGamingUK]

Mr.Puzzle could you please make a secret compartment puzzle, I enjoyed the secret hidden box video and I would like to see perhaps a bigger and more difficult version.

[@Dan0saur]

This reminds me of 3D puzzles :D

[@dracodaemon]

2:37 Careful, DJ Khaled gonna sue you!

[@hamable1995]

Draco *sigh*

[@AKGirthQuake]

For what ?

[@juleselizaaaa]

Draco oh my god.

[@scliny]

Really.😂😂😂

[@SweetInner]

ORDER

[@TS_Mind_Swept]

Well done, you’ve made a soccer ball, congratulations.

[@twilightsquid7200]

This look like some thing that I gonna fucked up and rage quit while throwing it to the wall

[@Mr.Puzzle]

😂

[@theputnamto3468]

i would honestly love to buy this. i dont have a 3d printer, nor do i plan on getting one.

[@theignorantphilosopher4855]

if you visit wikipedia / wiki/Compound_of_five_tetrahedra , you'll encounter an interesting geometrical shape, but also an image of the shape made of pencils and rubber bands. Making that I think even you will find challenging.

[@BarryKort]

Would assembly be a tad more stable if each tab where the rubber band loops around had a depression to help keep the rubber band from slipping off the end of the tab?

[@blackmephistopheles2273]

+Mr.Puzzle I'm curious; why didn't you just put together another pentagon-surrounded-by-two-layers-of-hexagons, and then invert one and put it on the other?

[@yannadeau8308]

I think it is easier to assemble in two parts, top half and bottom half than connect together

[@misclano]

Realy hard to find the puzzle in amazone store. Could u put a specific link for this puzzle?

[@Mr.Puzzle]

It's not for sale. You can find the files to print it on thingiverse.

[@misclano]

ok. tnks

[@marvins8420]

Great video ! I dont like the notificationfrom YT, because the Patreon post is earlier than the YT notification :/ Still get no notification on my Smartphone. But at leat I saw it, and it was a great Video! Grüße Marvin

[@Mr.Puzzle]

Glad you like it!

[@iwannacrest]

Literally an inverted soccer ball ⚽️

[@oldhippy1017]

I like it.

[@gdwalker2912]

Hi Mr puzzle. Can you make a vid all of your puzzles?

[@jetegtmeier71]

a couple of questions... would it assemble easier if the if the edges of each piece were completely beveled thus the tension of the rubber bands would draw it into proper shape automatically and second, would it be easier to assemble starting with white-black-black-white rather than white-black-black ? just some food for thought :)

[@ownthore]

I feel like this would be made much easier with something like a short knitting hook, to grab the bands with.

[@tarangpatil6952]

Where did you got that? Is that available on amazon? How many questions you get when you see these kind of thing.

[@carolbraddock6310]

5:18 Wouldn't it be easier to just make a second half and then putting them together?

[@SweetInner]

I dunno, it would be a hard work to connect

[@Dargonhuman]

Not necessarily; the simple act of aligning the two halves could cause them to fall apart as the constrictive forces of the rubber bands shifts.

[@TheRebelmanone]

Pretty cool but it don't have the tapered angles it requires on the edges. If you make more hexagons and pentagons, taper the edges to the correct angles and it will be 10- 20 times stronger after assembly.

[@semi3568]

Pls do the Maya Shiel Puzzle

[@640kiboughttobeenough]

I think it is called Tuttminx in twisty puzzle engineery.

[@adamka-1]

YOU FOOL I NOW KNOW YOU DID THIS PUZZLE AT 9:00

[@motnosniv]

Would it be easier to build 2 hemispheres and balance the top one on the bottom and then attach the bands?

[@WszystkoZajeteOMG409]

They arent really stable, so they may fall apart while you are moving it.

[@erickednaldodelima]

Pretty flexible part froze me, I thought I would break

[@pocket83]

This video doesn't give a fair attribution. It's nearly a copy of my own design and procedure, and it makes no mention of either my assembly or construction videos. I want to play nice, but I can't approve of this. I understand that you gave credit on the other video, but this is a separate piece of work. You should have stated the source material explicitly, and provided multiple links. Now that I see it has exceeded my original in views, I find it an irksome and distasteful example of poor form. Proper attribution is what keeps video makers from being devoured by the wolves: surely you've had one or two of your own videos stolen by this point. Credit should be given where due. Please don't ignore this comment.

[@Mr.Puzzle]

Hi, I will send you a private message. Please do not respond here. I get several hundred comments per day. It was already luck that I saw this one. Regards

[@bradster2214]

easier way, do both halves with all the middle white pentagons on one side, then you can easily join them

[@alvinpennington2733]

I'm considering getting my son started on puzzles, do you know of any puzzles appropriate for a 5 year old?

[@higloo1094]

Pocket83 made this exact thing but out of wood ages ago.... DUDE

[@Mr.Puzzle]

That's probably why I mentioned it in the making video...

[@higloo1094]

o sorry

[@avananana]

Is there any website that sells these? Don't really have enough to buy a 3D printer just to print this :P

[@Mr.Puzzle]

I don't think so. I did it by myself. I will see if there is a possibility.

[@Volthrien]

Avana There's an ever-increasing amount of places that will 3D print things for you, you just pay for the plastic and the printer time

[@avocado1595]

this looks really like a reverse soccer ball

[@Basuliic]

Why not create 2 of start thing at start and then connect them ( we need to add 1 layer to each or 2 to first one)

[@hakonstrandjord6527]

Have you by any chance been in Norway (Mo i Rana) lately?

[@Mr.Puzzle]

I have never been in Norway so far. Why?

[@hakonstrandjord6527]

Met someone who REALLY looked and sounded like you a few days ago, didn't ask him if he was you so i just had to check here! haha. (Really enjoy your vids btw!)

[@pepperonipizza8200]

Could this puzzle be more difficult than the giraffe?

[@thomashuntley827]

Perfect_Poop nope

[@pepperonipizza8200]

It was a rhetorical question.

[@Mr.Puzzle]

This can't be a serious question.

[@pepperonipizza8200]

O: Senpai notices! [Removes Shirt] TAKE ME!!

[@dmauldin7615]

Perfect_Poop XD

[@Make-Asylums-Great-Again]

Couldn’t you of made 2 halves?

[@jazlaans]

what rubber bands do you use

[@Mr.Puzzle]

I think about 50mm length when not stretched

[@Dargonhuman]

White ones.

[@Make-Asylums-Great-Again]

Rubber ones

[@hanniffydinn6019]

What about other geometric shapes ?

[@0504792812]

I like your creature and it's time killer.Why don't you just sell this thing for money like your merchandise.Someone maybe will be interested in.

[@Mr.Puzzle]

I will see what I can do.

[@kdziolak]

It seems that it would have been easier to just assemble both halves separately and connect them symmetrically by overstretching the bands a little

[@AB-Prince]

You could have inverted the colors and called it the soccerball shenanigans. The original idea was a woodwork project by #pocket83

[@kfasdt]

is it me or does the pieces sound like they are made of metal

[@Mr.Puzzle]

They are made from PLA. But only 50 infill.

[@Make-Asylums-Great-Again]

Mr.Puzzle what’s 50 infill? Be sure to remind yourself we all don’t have 3D printers or the knowledge that comes with using one.

[@sloma111]

Just get an IKEA lamp!

[@Mister.Psychology]

Look what he wrote on Patreon. I didn't change anything and he really did write this: "This amount will cover my invest to buy the ISIS". Seems like this is more than a puzzle channel. This dude has big investment plans.

[@inadequate558]

He’s basically making a football/soccerball

[@naraind1489]

Actually the puzzle you solved is the exact model of a chemical compound fullerene.

[@meatman4515]

[@bluejay9781]

Hi

[@bluejay9781]

Hey I was first im proud

[@gplilmonster9226]

XD I PUT YOU THE LINK

[@michaelclauss7895]

That moment when you realise it's a low quality soccer ball with the colors reversed

[@camcorder8203]

Couldn't you just build the same shape twice and then connect it from there???

[@junbathory2362]

Is it just me or does just about truly anything sounds more scientific the moment you say it?

[@Nopa_Kofi]

Its same like football ball

[@OscarRamirez-zc2zt]

If you invert colors it looks like soccer ball

[@garrythirtle]

Good puzzle just not a big fan of the rubber bands side of things as they will biodegrade! Ok could probably replace em but not something that can stand the test of time .

[@aggabus]

wgile ahe lay flat can see that gap that he adroitly filleth

[@drben5207]

Didn't you know that a geodesic sphere is the 4D Equivalent of a cylinder???!!!
