@bojidar_bg Thanks! 😀
For anyone else who wants to make an origami Jitterbug, instructions are at https://www.foldworks.net/home/diagrams, specifically https://foldworks.net/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/jitterbug.pdf. Other instructions and videos are available elsewhere (some approved by me, some not).

Folded a rhombic dodecahedron following @foldworks 's paper/workshop from Bridges 2024. It bends and can even bounce a little! ✨

Made from four A4 half-sheets.
Folding and assembling all 24 modules took... about 3.5 hours. 😅 Good way to check off a few presentations from the to-watch list! 😁
This is why QRSTUVWXZ Stars didn’t work so well: the units should meet at the centre but there’s a finger-sized gap 😞

The smaller XYZ Stars transforms into XYZ. @origami

Two versions of XYZ Stars. The larger model is folded from isosceles right-angled triangles; the smaller from 2:1 rectangles. Both were made from squares of the same size. @origami

Planar modular origami mania from 2- to 9-pointed stars.
Yes, I did make the 90-unit QRSTUVWXZ Stars (top left) but it didn’t work as well as I wanted so I made XYZ Stars (centre) to complete the collection.

Jitterbug, one of my best-known origami creations.

I first came across Buckminster Fuller’s Jitterbug in Amy C. Edmondson’s A Fuller Explanation (1987).
As I didn’t have dowels and four-way rubber connectors, I made several cuboctahedra that worked as Jitterbugs but were not very reversible. Some were from paper and others from drinking straws and elastic thread. This modular origami version is the most recent version.
