Rhombicuboctahedron Unit 

"that would have made bad things happen" lol This and the PHiZZ units are great, I love modular origami and its good to be able to make something that looks nice with out every piece being real complex. Good job, thanks for the videos.

dang now I have two projects to do after all my class work is finished. I never actually created a finished Rhombicuboctahedron, although you could probably consider the 6-piece "Modular ball" made of pleated modules such a shape, but nothing this complex. Thanks so much, this is awesome!

Hey...I just Finished It Today...And It took about 4 Hours It's just little hard to Put the pieces Together...It's Easy......Thanks Tom Hull :)

wow:D Great unit! I saw one Rhombicuboctahedron that was made out of penultimate units, but tis was much better! thanks a lot!

guys u gotta use paper with a decent amount of structure for this. i used paper that's a lil waxy and soft. it didn't retain the creases so well, so during assembly it turned really messy. the whole thing turned spherical and the triangles were impossible to form.

Truely awesome video, and the rhombicuboctahedron is the best shape to make out of origami.

When you tuck the green under the blue (when you make it sturdier), could you use glue? I need to make one for class and I want it to be sturdy.

Edward, I've never tried making this from Elephant Hide paper, but the lock is pretty strong and it should work. Are you sure that you're doing the lock correctly? In particular, the steps starting at 7:26 in the video, where you wrap the paper at the end of one unit around with the paper from another unit. Doing that and then reinforcing the main creases of the unit should form a solid lock.

can this unit be used to make some more shapes?

i met you in vicenza! I was there when you had the conference about origamis and fractals! :D

so if you have 3 colors and there are 24 moduels, does that mean that 8 of each color? just checking, I'm thinking about making it, btw, Great video Tom!

ok...stupid question but....how do you put the triangle parts together? (O_O) please help!

@Wateenlangenaamhea About half-way through the video, I show how to lock them together. Look at it carefully and pause it a lot to figure out to do it to your units.

Making the units is really easy, I tried making this model using Elephant Hide paper and couldn't get any of it to hold together so I gave up :( Maybe I should try with ordinary printer paper?

can you or someone else make a video building the whole thing i'm having trouble putting it together

Mates, start with the triangles, they are hard as hell but, its harder at the finish. I started stupidly with easyest and now i need to glue em a bit(the last ones). But it looks nice even just in white :D

@TheMikesta1000 Yes -- if you go to my channel and look at my web page listed there you'll see that I am Tom Hull.

@danrad777 hi ! you need 24

WHAT THE FUCK IS A RHOMBICUBOCTAHEDRON???
