Hello everyone!
I hope you enjoy this fun video! I had a blast making the Five Intersecting Tetrahedra. Let me know in the comments if you try it out, I'd love to hear how it goes! Also, if you guys have any questions, I'd be happy to answer them.
Here are the resources that I used.
Tom Hull's original instructions are found here: mars.wne.edu/~thull/fit.html
Michal Kosmulski has a great set of instructions that he wrote up, as well as some very useful pictures: michal.kosmulski.org/origami/fit-five-intersecting-tetrahedra-assembly-tips.html
I got the origami instructions for the strips from Mathigon (mathigon.org/origami) and you can find the pdf here: static.mathigon.org/origami/star.pdf
Thanks for watching everyone! Keep exploring :)
