Assembly of Colombus cube kusudama

Post by Muffij »

Hi!! Ive got serious problems concerning
the assembly of my colombus cube kusudama.
I have made the 20 cubes needed to make the basic kusudama,
I am able to make the connection of the first five(they make kind of like a flower-shape)
But when i try to builder another flower on top of it
I kind of miss a cut-in corner to connect them.

So i was wondering of any of you have assembled it succesfully, i couldnt find any Other posts about the matter
And BTW do you need to glue it?

Didn't know that you could build a kusudama with it but after searching on google I found a youtube vid and you do need glue for it.
If there's a hole missing, just make one more like you did in the beginning.

Can you link the video, 'cause i cant find one showing the complete assembly.
I made the cubes after a video by 1petitesoeciere/katrins origami, and it only showed how to assemble the first five cubes.

Yes, it's the same video you mentioned. She doesn't show at all how to build the kusudama but after studying the picture a bit I can say that you need glue to assemble it because there is basically no locking mechanism.
Sorry to disappoint you with this model but you can still find other cool modulars here.
