Maker Faire at the Pennington School

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 Sliceform Sphere

1. Form the central axis: Begin with the two white circles. Position them so the center slits face each other. Carefully slide the slits together at a right angle to form a “+” shape. This forms the central axis of your sphere.
2. Add the medium-sized circles: Cup your hand around the structure to support it. Take the medium-sized circles and carefully slide them down into the upward-facing slits on the white circles, one on each side of the central axis.
3. Add the smallest circles: Repeat the process with the two smallest circles, inserting them into the remaining upward-facing slits, one on each side of the white circle.
4. Flip the sphere: Carefully turn the sphere over so the remaining slits are now facing upward. Support the sphere gently in your hand.
5. Insert the remaining medium-sized circles: Take the remaining two medium-sized circles and gently slide them into the now upward-facing slits, one on each side of the white circle. Do not bend the paper. If a circle doesn’t slide in easily, ease it back slightly and try again.
6. Insert the remaining small circles: Repeat the process with the last two small circles to complete the sliceform sphere.
7. Test the movement: Gently open and close the sphere to check its flexibility. It may feel stiff at first, but it will loosen up with use.
