Tutorial: Rhombic 180-hedron (Zen Magnets)

[@ledwatchman]

This is one of your best looking designs, well worth revisiting to perfect the construction and engineering.

[@Magnenaut]

Thanks! It's one of my favorites as well.

[@kristihulit3509]

Hi I'm Kristi's husband. Wanted to thank you for all the tutorials I've learned alot from them and enjoy them very much. Hope to see see more they are entertaining and interesting. Take care and stay safe.

[@kristihulit3509]

Just completed the Rhombic 180 - Hedron. This is the second time I have completed this build. The first one I completed had a couple of flaws that my family didn't notice but I did. The second build was perfect . Thanks for this easy to follow tutorial. Hope to see more in the future. Take care.

[@Trominify]

Great to see you back, always been my favorite magnet youtuber!

[@renukadharmaraj693]

You have great talent How did you not hit million subscribes Lots of Love from India

[@andrewbostian2328]

Finally vids are coming...

[@IcePigeon123]

It looks beautiful

[@Bbaass_TMH]

Just finished assembling one of these myself, it took all but 1000 ish of my magnets. I even had to use my supply of coloured ones just to have enough! Couldn't quite get it to sit flat on the table after adding the middle temp support tube at 08:22, not sure why. Might be my table or I goofed it up, but it held up good enough after I put a scrap bit of plastic under it.

[@Magnenaut]

Nice job dude! Would love to see a picture. As for that support tube... yeah, it's just a bit too long for the shape to sit flat, but I figured that's preferable to having the other five corners support the weight, since they're so fragile.

[@kristihulit3509]

Waiting for some new tutorials. I have 9072 magnets now.🙂

[@MegaCharlymusic]

Bonjour. super tutoriel. j'ai enfin réussi à finir cette très belle figure. Merci

[@TheNerd484]

It's interesting how the shape of it changes as you build it.

[@zombieoneofficial]

Dude, the five in the back totally are look a little different. Good vid

[@natereynolds1062]

It was a very good build

[@lordey_3917]

Love vids man

[@AMWoll]

I’m definitely trying this after I can take my other builds apart! Thanks!

[@yoloacademy3887]

I can't tell if my message went through to you so I'll ask kere: what is the most magnets I would need for your biggest creation? (Is it the solid one with 10,425?) and what size do you use? (5mm?)

[@Magnenaut]

Currently my biggest shape is the wheel of 96 tetrahedra at 11,520, but my next tutorial is actually going to set a new personal record at 12,795 magnets. And yeah, I use Zen Magnets which are 5mm.

[@yoloacademy3887]

Magnenaut so how many magnets total do you have?

[@Magnenaut]

Current collection is 17,496

[@oinoi8373]

Wish i had enough magnets to do this!

[@Magnenaut]

How many do you have? This could conceivably be scaled down a step or two.

[@oinoi8373]

Right now, i have a measly 3 sets. One of them are from the gallery. I could get 6 sets but im going to wait

[@forgetfulmegatron1793]

Magnenaut how many does it take

[@Magnenaut]

The one in the video uses 8385 magnets. I've never made a scaled-down version so I'm not completely sure, I'd guess somewhere in the 6000s

[@nat1234a]

Oi Noi I wish I had any magnets at all

[@zacharysilverstein3819]

I want to ask, where can you buys these for a low price but a big set?

[@Gardureth]

2 years waiting for this answer, buy them at a magnetshop online, not zen magnets but round 5mm magnetballs. then you basicly pay for the resource only, and you have more options on materials and colors.

[@ПанченкоСлава]

How many neocube?

[@sumid873]

wow - like it

[@TheNCVofficial]

Try to build this shape one step FURTHER (outwards) with 300 rhombic faces

[@nickvanamburg]

Theoretically, would the faces be golden rhombi?

[@zaigalauduma]

Am I the only one who doesn't have any magnets but loves these videos?

[@emilythompson3756]

New subscriber. Beautiful! How did you figure out/design this?!

[@Magnenaut]

Thanks for the sub! I stumbled across the basic idea for this shape when I was trying to figure out how to make a construction of concentrically-layered rhombic hexecontahedra. I was trying to figure out how best to attach different layers together, and at one point in the process I realized that I could make something like this. That seemed a lot more interesting than just doing another concentric-layered shape (of which I've done several), so I went with this instead. Actually working out all the details was just a lot of trial and error.

[@jerrythemagicalllama]

Idea: do any shape but color coded! It be really cool to look at (and also harder to mess up).

[@frankf5928]

is there any way to make those at 4:54 any easier its hard to get the bending right?

[@Magnenaut]

Yeah those subunits can definitely be tricky. Maybe try using a card to help separate the center magnets?

[@joseffalzon1388]

Can you give me the link from where you buy your zen magnets pls

[@Magnenaut]

zenmagnets.com

[@OctoBirb8Claws]

When the people can't do the poly- un- duo- do- and so on for this shape: 180-hedron

[@ahmedshaikha8938]

Try kosioi-octocontahedron

[@Magnenaut]

Probably either that or hecta-octacontahedron. Unfortunately neither one yields any results on Google.

[@harryparish6579]

death star

[@dominicperry414]

This doesn’t look like 2500 magnets lol

[@Magnenaut]

Haha, I am looking for some good sub-2500 shapes, but it might take some time. The next video will use a lot of magnets as well, but it's going to be a layered-type shape like the quintuple icosahedron. You could do the first two layers of that one with 2832 magnets.

[@jofbheck6015]

Very nice 100% like dislike ratio

[@joshuaketchens5444]

I would love to do this but man, it's so goddamn expensive to get that many units... sad world we live in when hobbies like these utilize 3-dimensional space and enhance our cognitive understanding of it, yet it's like buying a video game console financially.

[@nickvanamburg]

A couple cheaper options would be origami or cardboard constructions

[@kristihulit3509]

Zen magnets are expensive but I use a mix of magnets. I have just over 9 thousand 5 mm magnets they are a mix of bucky balls, neo balls, magnicube, and sky magnets. They work ok and I'm able to build this design and many more. They are a little cheaper in cost which makes them a better bargain to purchase.

[@lukechang1037]

me only have 2000 magnets

[@jacquesfrancis2101]

Why do you say I think

[@Magnenaut]

Verbal tic, I guess.
