Good luck Adriana! It was just about 3m across when finished. And about 2m tall. Have a look at the article I posted in the description for further details. You could use the tools there to easily scale down the size if needed. Thanks for watching and for your comment!
they'll be talking about this with your grandchildren as a grand adventure ! Nice work. I've actually thought of doing with with the ribs INSIDE and using it as a form to blow on a permanent fibreglass layer - I guess someone could add rebar over it and even use blown gunite and then paint it after it's cured.
Thank you! I didn’t except the dome to last too long but was quite surprised by how quickly it took on moisture and collapsed - we maybe had 3 or 4 days out of it. It was the morning dew that ended it despite it being warm otherwise. Good luck with your version- it sounds intriguing!
Wow, I don't usually do follow-backs, but we clearly have overlapping interests. I hadn't thought about making a very large cardboard rotegrity ball before, but now I think I'll have to consider it.
Ha! When I saw your channel I wondered why you didn’t have a million subscribers then I realised that maybe not everyone is obsessed as me! I found you on Reddit, then your YT and Etsy followed. I’ll be giving you rotegrity ball a go as soon as time allows! Look forward to seeing your channel grow, and I’ll certainly be watching with interest if you do any explainer videos.

Fleet Farms all have orange planetarium domes on them. This looks easier than my globe wedge pressboard method. Though mine turned out to be completely smooth inside.
@@RussellEveleigh Takes time, but wow, the results are pretty remarkable. I recommend the Fiskars SureCut 154450-1009 for quicker cutting of consistent width strips. If you find a better approach or tool, I'd gladly take your feedback. I'm currently working on a 6-frequency dome to encapsulate an Ikea FADO lamp for a friend's kiddo.
That’s beautiful, bro…a 3rd frequency icosahedron? 🤔 truncated it & added the vertical wall…very smart. It gives you some flat upright surfaces to hang pictures & stuff! And a pair of wings on top…that’s what I call bang for the buck. ✊☕️🎩🎩🎩
Oh I forgot to ask can you advise on the strut lengths for a dome approximately 16 feet in diameter 8 ft radius I don't know how to figure it out people say you can size up from a model but can't find out how to do that thanks for sharing
Thanks for your nice comment! I wrote up the project with more info - link in the description - but if it is just calculators you're after checkout this site: geo-dome.co.uk/article.asp?uname=calculation
No, predictably the whole thing only lasted a few days. A straight projection worked the best. I don’t think you could get the full curved effect on a budget. I keep thinking about it though.
First of All: very Nice Project ! About this water problem: Applying Ship (Yacht) Varnish on the cardboard before assembly… also putting the bolts on the inside would turn the outside into a more smooth plane because now you have those upstanding sides creating a collection effect for water. Application of silicone in between the triangles, already mentioned by Tony Hardy, would seal the whole from further water penetration. Ofcourse you would have to apply an extra projection layer on the inside but I think it can be done. I also think if a person wants to create a larger structure with this cardboard material it will be more easy and safer to secure the bolts on the inside since you cannot climb on the outside or reach too high… anyway, I think it’s a very nice approach of a practical geodesic dome creation. Well done.
Hexagons surrounded by pentagons...like a soccer ball!...well done...best explanation of a geometric dome ever!
Thank you!
You’re a genius. Thanks so much for sharing. I just bought a DS1 Planetarium. Projector. This will now be my next step.
Yes I imagine a decent projector would increase the magic! Good luck!
@@RussellEveleigh this awesome!!! I’m looking forward to making one but I have limited space. How big was the dome after fully assembled

This is a super Dad.
I was impressed.
Great Job.
Every kid's dream. Very cool project!

Top to bottom method...smart!
Apparently the best science is practical, social, fun, etc.
Nice dude. That’s the way you raise some kids.
Well done!
This is amazing!!! I'm feeling very inspired

That’s so sweet man
This is awesome! I think I might actually try this. I would like to make one that is maybe half of yours, or one that could fit maybe 2 people in it.
Good luck!
Celestia projected inside would be pretty fun. Also recommend "snapology origami" as a lockdown activity.
Have just Googled Snapology and it looks super fun. I'm going to give it a go. Thank you.

A fish-eye lens for your projector!!!
Great job love it
Sweet.
The bit about the the rain 🤣
Great!!!
Maravilloso!!!
Amei! Execelente ideia pra fazer junto com as crianças!
A good way to make a real igloo in Greenland 😄😄

Wowwww~~ good^^
Look brillant ideas and what about waterproof?
Genio.!! Genius.
Hermoso felicitaciones
Gracias

Did you manage to get the video on the whole screen using a mirror?
No, predictably the whole thing only lasted a few days. A straight projection worked the best. I don’t think you could get the full curved effect on a budget. I keep thinking about it though.
LOL at the end.
I was thinking if you painted the outsides with exterior gloss paint and sealed the edges with silicone, then let it rain who cares.
A good idea! I'd love to make another one - just need to think about waterproofing and making quick to release connections.
Rain is a definite problem!

nice project - get a big tarp 😂
