Tutorial: Octahedral Icosahedron (Zen Magnets)

[@sandyacres21]

I always like your tutorials they are easy to understand and follow!

[@okwhynot.]

genius. Really great tutorial, thank you. I love the shortcut to making the small octahedrons, so awesome.

[@koozdra]

Nice easy method that creates a really impressive shape.

This channel is amazing

This is like a horror movie at the end, I know what's coming but I can't help but scream "No, don't do it! NOoooooooooo!" Great videos, nightmare ending though.

[@Ha1cyon00]

and there you go!

[@Magnenaut]

@ReformedDubstep Thanks! Now I have to ask, though - what's the "non-shortcut" method? This is the only way I know how to make them.

[@DoryFen]

i love it when you say, hm...and now i guess im gonna smash it :)

[@PerodinKarl]

Great work as usual... The only part that makes me cringe is the final Smash!.. I usually stop the video before reaching that point! It somehow reminds me - albeit incongruously - of the offensive last scenes of an 'adult' movie (... Hum. How should I put it?... The...facial treatment scene?) that makes the difference between porn and erotica. You do make great tutorials! Thanks for sharing.

how many cubes have fallen silent?

[@necrondestroyerlord]

how many magnets do you have?

[@Magnenaut]

@necrondestroyerlord I've currently got 10,800 magnets.

[@Mike-iz9kh]

That's good to know! I was wondering how many it would be worth buying if they're going to become impossible to sell commercially in the U.S.; that's a sizable figure but if it lets me make everything in your videos...that's a pretty good number! :)

[@alansmithee419]

@@Mike-iz9kh In case you decided over a year ago to not buy them because they're very expensive: If you care about number of magnets more than size of the build, you can get 2.5mm ones which take a bit of getting used to, but are of course much cheaper to bulk buy. And, unlike zen magnets, they're still delivering all over seemingly (you can find their website linked to directly through the zen magnets page, and it's hosted by zen magnets - they're trusted to be top quality by the zen magnets company, so it's not like this is some cheap knock-off version).

[@Ravenblues]

pretty expensive hobby...but ure vids are great
