I made a YouTube video!
It takes 2,400 magnet spheres to make this one (a little more than 11 full sets) and a few hours. The smallest base unit is a folded 30 ball triangle that I thought of in a dream a few weeks ago. Pictures really don’t do justice so I made a short video. Enjoy!

Dude, that is some wicked shi… uh… stuff. WAY cool, and I’m not making that up.
Thanks! It was fun to put together. The sub-units have an intereresting structure that allows for different ways to assemble them. I’m going to tear it apart tonight.
Hey, is your email hacked to send out stuff to your contacts?
hmmmm
Yeah, sorry. A blast went out to a lot of people at 4:00 this morning. I changed the password. Hopefully that fixes the problem.
It just looked weird, good for you for catching it.
Totally cool!
That’s awesome, and kudos for getting the little blue frog in there, too!
Excellent! And malleable.
