How to Make an Origami Cuboctahedron from Curler Units

i don't know how the hell you spelled icosidodecahedron correctly o_o ( i just copied and pasted it :P )

thanks

The triangular shape just before you put in the curls is called a "water bomb base" as it is also the first step to make a paper cube which can be filled with water and makes a great water bomb :D

whats a water bomb base?

Yep, they must all curl in the same direction either all clockwise or all anti clockwise. The 1st one I made I did not really look at the diagram and for some reason assumed they curled in opposite direction in each unit ... you can still make a cuboctahedron but does not look that nice ;)

Also...
it's really hard to make curler units in general (for me).
XD

does it matter what direction the curls go?

BTW this music really fits in with the curler theme

Actually I think this one is more difficult than the icosidodecahedron. As result of the stress in curler units it takes a while for they all stay in their position...as you can see in the vid ;)

this seems easier than the one i just saw i will try this asap cuz it looks cool, ty for teaching us how!! :]

:):):) !! Not sure ...can see well... but believe I can see more vertices and squares so maybe bigger brother of cuboctahedron !! rhombicuboctahedron?
Still great vid!! Esp the last bit ;)

i already made one..
is not as pretty as yours..
i show u latter
so u can tell me what you think
:)

heb 'm gezien ... ga ik zeker doen

moet je die solid rhumicuboctahedron van mij is proberen is maar 6 blaatjes echt een hel :P

Had met 1e bezig moeten zien ...van die hele dunne witte memo blaadjes... wel een uur of zo bezig geweest op het eind... ;)
Maar ook die zat goed!! Na wat $%!!*:(&!! ...
