Introduction: Knex Buckyball

Everyone likes buckyballs, so what I did was make my a buckyball structure out of k'nex. It's fairly easy to build and can be built in about 15 minutes.


For this project you will need

- 60 full moon connectors
- 60 blue flexi rods
- 30 normal blue rods

150 pieces total.

Step 1: Making the Pentagons

First thing you need to do is to make 12 pentagons using the full moon connectors and the blue flexi rods.

Step 2: Connecting the Pentagons

Now what you need to do is use the normal blue rods to connect the 12 pentagons.

Step 3: Adding the Connections

Attach the normal blue rods onto the full moon connectors as shown.

Step 4: Getting the Structure Together

3 more pentagons to be added. Place normal blue rods as shown.

Step 5: Almost Done

12 more blue rods and 3 more pentagons to go.

Step 6: All Done

And ready for cat use.
