I'm looking for what I consider the easiest modular model ever.
You need three squares
1. You fold each one by its diagonal half, making and isosceles right triangle.
2. You take each 45° tip, place each one on top of the 90° tip and fold, making a square.
3. You crease the square by the diagonal line that separates both folded tips.
4. This units have a "mouth" and two "legs". You connect them all by inserting the legs of A into the mouth of B, the legs of B into the mouth of C, and the legs of C into the mouth of A, and press it all together.
5. At the end you get a 3 unit triangular bipyramid.
Do you know this model? Who created it? What's it's real name? Where were the original diagrams published?
Thanks in advance!

Re: 3 unit triangular bipyramid
I'm not familiar with the model you're talking about, but I know one that gives the same result--also from three units:

Thanks! Do you think my explanation of the steps was clear?
I'm amazed it doesn't seem to be that known. I was taught this model twice by two different people.
I'm gonna ask about the model in the list just in case.
