How to build another bubble cluster design I came up with recently. This one uses a star-like subunit of 5 modified triple hexagon rings held in place by a single pentagonal ring of 5 balls.
Each star subunit uses 5 × 3 × 6 + 5 = 95 magnetic balls.
12 of these subunits link easily together to make a small sphere of 12 × 95 = 1140 balls.
72 of these star subunits forming 12 hemispheres of 6 units each are required for the larger bubble cluster shape: a total of 6 × 12 × 95 = 6840 neodymium magnetic balls.
These subunits have the right angles of connection to fit easily and quickly together, so the larger construction of 12 hemispheres is quite easy to build, as long as you have enough balls to complete it.
