A giant version of my Honeycomb Mountain or Honeycomb Pyramid shape from 5mm neodymium magnetic balls. I used a larger version of the triangular subunit that creates the hexagonal pyramid pattern, and built it with 13 layers including the single unit peak. 235 units + 18 extra units to support the base were required for this large magnet shape. The single repeating subunit uses 3 rhombuses of 30 balls each, so the total magnet count for this construction is 253 × 90 = 22770 magnetic balls, which weighs over 11kg. This is the largest magnet structure I have ever built, both by physical size and the number of magnets used.
My old tutorial for how this pattern can be built can be found here:
