I'm super excited to finally have my Geodesic Dome project complete. It's now a cosy study space at my University Library, perfect for winter study. It's made from upcycled cardboard from TV boxes and corflute from local election signage, and held together with zipties and tarp eyelets. To make the design, I 3D modelled it in Rhino software with the Polyhedra plugin, then put the model into Pepakura papercraft software to create paper templates that were then hand cut (alas, no laser cutter!)

@sjpiper145 awesome! What kind of printer did you print the pepakura template on? Must be a large printer even if you put a single piece on one page each.
Anyway, perfect use case for pepakura and cardboard.

@VoltPaperScissors Thanks so much! Here's what it looks like in Pepakura software, where the grid on the right is the A3 paper size. It would have been much easier with a bigger printer!
Yes, I love working with cardboard and getting this done makes me more excited for future project possibilities.
