Modular Octahedral Unit
Modular Octahedral Unit Step 1: Start by folding a modular sonobe unit.
Follow instructions on the separate page and you should have the following to start with.
Modular Octahedral Unit Step 2: Make a fold along the diagonal as shown. Crease well and unfold.
Modular Octahedral Unit Step 3: Flip paper over.
Make the 2 vertical folds as shown. Crease well and unfold.
Modular Octahedral Unit Step 4: You've completed one unit. We need a total of 12 units for this assembly.
You can choose to use only 1 color which might make the assembly easier.
Or you could choose to use 3 colors, which means you've to fold 4 units of each color which is what we did/
Modular Octahedral Unit Step 5: Watch the video for the assembly process. It was tricky to take good photos of the assembly so we made a video instead.
