ZEN MAGNETS - Neodymium Magnetic Balls (@306) - 3D Shamrock

 

Under lit using a tracing light table platform.

 

Playing with triangles ... this is made out of 34 9-ball triangles total.

 

(3 x (5 x 9-ball triangles = pentagon) + 5 x 9-ball triangle tips to form stars)) + (3 x 9-ball triangles = added to two outer tips) + (1 x 9-ball triangle = added to the top center)

 

Construction Notes:

1) Construct 3 stars out of 9-ball triangles

2) Connect two sets of tips together

3) Connect the 3rd side so that one 3-sided pyramid is pointing up in the center.

4) Add a middle triangle between the two triangle outside arms

5) Fold up the outside arms till both sides of the triangles meet along the 4-ball edges ... this forms a triangle opening on the top.

6) Take the last 9-ball triangle and close up the top hole.
