120 unit Bucky ball using phizz units

 






120 unit Bucky ball using phizz units designed by Thomas Hull @tomstermath

I used 5 cm squares 

Final model height - 13 cm diameter

No glue (assembly is super study)

Paper used - Rainbow colours by @tuttleorigami 

Many many thanks to Khin @kh.art.craft and Michal @mkosmul for helping me understand this polyhedron structure. 

I also did a Collab with Khin 30 March, 7:30 pm India time, we assembled together for about an hour, though we couldn't complete. It was a joyful experience. I never did IG LIVE before... So talking with Khin and assembling was fun. Many many thanks Khin. 

While i was thinking to fold this polyhedron, i was analysing the geometric structure. I was confused between 90 unit and 120 unit structures. I finally contacted both Michal and Khin and they were kind enough to take time and explain me in detail. Here's the difference between the two 90 unit and 120 unit structures. 

The below one is truncated icosahedron which takes 90 units



The below one is 120 unit structure

Happy folding 🌺🌺🌺
