Inspired by one of Szaki's videos, here's a really cool large size framed triangle ball... well, two of them :)
The 6mm sphere size is what I use, and it's the best value, and best magnetic toy product, dollar for dollar anywhere on the internet.

The ball count formula turns out to be very simple. Based on the size of the inner triangle wall length, and the inner triangle always having only one extra row around it with a blunt tip (2 ball tip)... The number of inner triangle balls is 3x-3. The outer triangle is 3x+3. Simplified is 6x. Pieces required is 20 per ball, so:
f(x) = 120x
f(4) = 480 (first "framed", i.e. hollow triangle)
f(5) = 600
f(6) = 720
f(7) = 840 (THIS VIDEO)
f(8) = 960 (could be unstable after this)
f(9) = 1080
f(10) = 1200
f(11) = 1320
f(12) = 1440
