Construction Notes:
Inspired by this geometric computer model structure, but with tubes replacing the connecting edge icosahedrons:
youtube.com/watch?v=xwfYYSMRi50
Built from 140 6-ring tube connectors of length 4, and 55 R60 spheres.
(R stands for Rhombicosidodecahedron, which is the most accurate geometric term for the little 60 ball spheres, but they are usually misnamed a C60 sphere, or buckyball)
All connections are across triangular faces of 3 balls on the R60 spheres. Both ends of each hexagonal tube bond nicely to the R60s this way regardless of the different polarity at each end of a tube, but tubes of an even number of 6-rings are required to keep the R60s at each end oriented the same way. All the R60s are of the same polarity.
Total magnet count of 140 × 24 + 55 × 60 =6660 balls.
