Ring of 96 Tetrahedra

Postby karlhorton » Fri Feb 10, 2023 11:32 pm

96 Tetrahedra can be face-joined to make a ring.

Once we know this works .... naturally it's not quite correct, but the error isn't visible.

Take two of these rigngs side by side, add some feet, and try to make it stand up on end.

Easier that I expected, and with care the model can be picked up.

600 rods, 100 balls.

Here is the model.
As being said, the whole circle does not quite close on itself.
