I think it'll always be a little squat, because if you imagine the faces being parts of a sphere you've cut off, you're always measuring between 2 cut flatspots on the height, but only 1 of those with the width. I'm sure there's a bit of flexing too that's making it squat as well but I don't think that's making the whole difference in measurement you're seeing
It would be interesting to see how it looked up on the space station where the gravity is almost non-existent. Since the ABS that Legos are made out of is extremely close to the density of water -- water being 1.00 and Lego ABS being 1.04 -- you can simulate zero gravity by immersing the structure in water if only there was a way to get all the air out of the structure. I guess a vacuum chamber would work. Put the structure in the chamber, pump the air out, and then introduce just water, no air, which would boil but when you brought the pressure back to normal the vapor would condense and you'd have it sitting in the water simulating zero gravity. Or at least I think that would work if anybody can see where that's wrong please tell me.
@@2ndfloorsongs removing the air wouldn't improve the buoyancy because that space is taken up by water when it's submerged anyway. Even if it did work I doubt it would have enough effect.
I wonder how the vertices with the hinge pieces would work, if you put the 3-stud-angle pieces as the first ones of the rods (compleetely connected to the hinge-pieces) and 1x2 plates sticking out from the remaining stud-positions of the hinge pieces.
Curious about the deformation if suspended from a vertex. Clearly if anything that would make it taller than wide, instead of shorter. I'd expect by the same amount if it's deforming by the maximum amount it can.
Hello! Can you build two spheres one inside the other, and make it so that its edges are crossing? such that there will be a set of vertices inside, and a set of vertices outside? It will be a single build, but sort of look like one inside the other.
could there have been a less strainy way to put the dodecahedron together? like making 2 parts and then linking them together.. kinda like 2 half spheres or something on that methodology to make it a little bit more manageable? or in more easier terms, for a cube, making 2 squares, and then just stacking them together with the missing edges. idk, just thinking becasue what can I do? spend thousands upon thousands on lego which is an amount of money i will never see in my life
@@dragade101 no but there are two different types of rows being used and he tried having the other kind on the outside, it gave a slightly less extreme version of the same thing, odd numbers aren't evil.
i mean really cool but omg the hinge plate color is hideous and the lime green plates aren't all the exact same color (though that might be the camera), bit of a nightmare
I know this is a different kind of video, but I'm definitely subscribed only for the silent ones. The combination of click sounds and smooth compartmental construction (and the little caveman being placed) gives a true ASMR effect unlike anything else on youtube. Impossibly relaxing, such that I'll often go to sleep watching the longer ones. Just wanted to let you know because more and more of your uploads are different to that. Which are still awesome, but for mostly different reasons.
I loved the ASMR but I've been enjoying the long form building deep dives even more! This guy has such a relaxing voice, and the artistic process is really neat to see!
Love how excited it looks when you pat it on its head
I think next you should go for a truncated icosahedron.
The half complete one is so pretty, the shape is so organic and it looks like a flower.
26:32 shows the color consistency that LEGO© is so famous for.
It’s crazy how many Lego pieces he has
Would it be possible to connect your smaller dodecahedron inside your larger one? Have it 'float' in the middle? 👀👀👀
ooh, like a dodecahedronal prism(4d represented in 3d)
this is cool but how much money do you spend on legos?
More than the whole comment section
If you're looking for bulk elements all in the same color, it's not crazy. This build is far cheaper than the LEGO Titanic.
Look it up man.

Moubius strip but with legos
Next step, buckyballs!

I think hanging it from 3 vertices would look best.

I dare you to make a Rhombicosidodecahedron
That's a nice one.
49:03 I'm surprised you don't hang it by string like George Hart does

this dude has an amazing voice oh my god
He sounds a lot like Jeff Goldblum to me.
i'm sitting here thinking "Dyson Sphere?"

It would be slightly more because of the edges at the bottom which wouldn't normally deform unless they do this thing.

How about building it with the natural curve. Where the pips go into the shape instead of out. Have you tried something like that?
Where do you get those white gloves? I want to buy some as they seem comfortable for building..😊
look for the ones that coin collectors, jewellers, and antique dealers use
duuude, this is insane! 🤯👍🏼
How do you come up with these big Lego build ideas? It’s crazy how many pieces you use
Many years of obsession. I love these builds, and I feel like they need to exist. So I bring them to life. : )
Sweet! Wow!, and WAY Cool! 👍
Very Cool. Actually, Hydrocarbons are Cool.... (oh, there's a building idea)
dang. i'm wondering if there is a way to fill the faces
You can to some degree, but that is a level of effort I'm not ready to commit to 😂
You could always wrap the whole thing in plastic wrap. 😅

Make moubious strip
could you do a icosahedron? (the 20 sided one)
It’s an older video, but yes.
ua-cam.com/video/NKcipmSL3Lo/v-deo.html
Or a truncated icosahedron (soccer ball/football)
@@rfresa or a rectified icosahedron.(joke)
@11:45, looks like your design is an odd number of layers. That is probably cause it to bend in a particular way.
He showed how switching the order of the layers caused it to bend in the same direction, not the opposite direction like your reasoning would suggest.
@@dannyboy1350 An even number of rows were tried?
