How to make the Icosahedron using the Hexa Zen Triangles by Natureofflowers

The Icosahedron Build Strategy Phase 1: The Top Pentagonal Dome 1. Select 5 triangles. 2. Connect their inner edges so they all share one common center point. 3. As you connect the 5th triangle to the 1st, the structure will naturally "bowl" upward, creating a shallow 5-sided pyramid. Phase 2: The Middle "Equator" Belt This phase uses 10 triangles to create a jagged ring around the base of your dome. 1. Identify the 5 open edges at the bottom of your dome. 2. Attach 5 triangles pointing downward from those edges. 3. Fill the "V" shaped gaps between those downward triangles by snapping in 5 more triangles pointing upward. 4. Once these 10 pieces are locked, you will have a sturdy "crown" shape. Phase 3: The Bottom Cap 1. Flip the structure over. You should see 5 open edges forming a jagged hole at the bottom. 2. Take your final 5 triangles and attach them to these edges. 3. Bring the tips of these 5 triangles together at the bottom center point. 4. Snap the final seams shut to seal the icosahedron. Assembly Tips • The "Rule of 5": If you ever see 6 triangles meeting at a point, the area will be flat. If you see 4, the corner will be too sharp. Constantly count the triangles at each vertex to ensure there are always 5. • Support the Joints: When snapping 3D pieces together, place your index finger inside the shape behind the joint while pressing with your thumb on the outside. This prevents the pressure from collapsing the structure. • Alignment: If a piece won't snap, rotate it 120^{\circ}. Because of the tab-and-slot design, the "male" tab must always meet a "female" slot.
