The Origami Forum

Here are two instructional video's on "Flippy Faced Polyhedra"
(My concept and design)

Flippy-Face Polyhedra have the following characteristics

1. Each is folded from a single square sheet of paper
2. Each looks like a polyhedron (a solid bounded by polygons)
3. You can flip the color of one or more faces with a hinged flap in one movement
4. After each flip the beginning shape is maintained
5. Each flip is reversible.
6. The ultimate and sometimes unachievable goal is to be able to flip all faces.

Thanks for sharing!!!

What origami fold -
is fairly easy to diagram (not that many steps)
nearly impossible to fold (you might have to fold from the inside out)
is mostly one color
AND mostly another color
AND mostly half-and-half
Has 24 faces
And 12 flippers
And it ---- (oh just watch the video)

Thanks for sharing, your design is most intresting!

24 sides is just...awesome!!!

Will there ever be diagrams for it, Firstfold? Or is it too difficult, nay, more difficult than Shafer's Monolithic Rubblestone Boulder? is it not worth a try?
