Huge Octahedron Frame with the "Ultimate Ball"
Made with 10,249 Zen Magnets (for the octahedron) and 1860 Zen Magnets (for the sphere).
You know you have too many magnets when just the leftover magnets from your octahedron are enough to build the "Ultimate Ball". It also made for a nice size comparison.
A few days ago, jasonbbb711 challenged me to build an octahedron frame using all my magnets. Well, challenge completed! Due to the scaffolding involved in building this shape, I couldn't use all of my magnets, but this is about as close as I could get.
And this thing is BIG. How big? Well, too big to fit on the turntable that I normally use for videos. Too big to even fit in my tabletop photo studio (which, by the way, is why I had to go back to my old setup for this shape). Too big, even, for me to be able to use my mini-tripod, meaning that all of these photos (and the video) had to be taken freehand.
