I will be exhibiting my work at a Maker Faire in Pennington, NJ on Sunday, April 14th from 10-2. I will have a make and take of my slice form sphere. I will also have a business card to hand out to interested attendees.
Here is the PDF of the sphere slice form and my business card. I used 65 lb. cardstock.

Here is the math behind the construction of this slice form sphere.

Instructions to assemble a slice form sphere.
1. Starting with the two white circles, have the slits facing one another. insert the center slits into one another to create two similar circles at right angles.
2. Hold one of the white circles vertical. Insert the next two largest circles (center slit) onto either side of the center circle.
3 Repeat for the two smallest circles. All the slits on the horizontal circle are now complete.
4. Turn the sphere so that all the remaining slits are facing upwards.
5. Take the two largest circles and insert them slowly into the slits on either side of the center. Insert the piece slowly, do not bend the paper. If it does not slide easily, remove it slightly and try again.
6. Repeat for the two smallest circles.
7. Open and close the sphere gently. It might stick at first, but over time, it will loosen.
