Nanodots Sphere (icosahedron) 120 Dots

This is a sphere made out of 20 sides of triangles of 6 dots each, making the total dots required of 120 dots.

This sphere based on a icosahedron design, which is actually a 20 sided polyhedron.

Nanodots Sphere (icosidodecahedron) 300 Dots

My obsessions with making more spheres. Here is an attempt to build a sphere based on a icosidodecahedron (32 sided) polyhedron.

It consist of 20 triangles (6 dots each) for a total of 120 dots. And 12 pentagons (15 dots each) for a total of 180 dots, bringing the grand total of 300 dots.

Smallest Nanodots Hollow Cube (hexahedron) 24 Dots

This would be the smallest possible hollow cube. It is made up by using 4 dots squares on each of the 6 sides. The total dots required is 24 dots.

It is actually a hexahedron, which is a 6 six sided polyhedron.

Nanodots Small Sphere (dodecahedron) 60 Dots

This is one of the smaller sphere (based on a dodecahedron)  that you could make with your Nanodots. It requires 60 dots of which are 12 hexagons of 5 dots rings each.

Nanodots Sphere (dodecahedron) 120 Dots

A dodecahedron is a polyhedron having 12 faces. This designed was thought to me by one of my resellers. The owner of Cubix Concept Store is an expert in Nanodots and has shared a few tips and tricks with me.  Here is a sphere (dedecahedron or 12 sided designed out of 12 Rings consisting of 10 Dots each. The method you use to join it is exactly the same as using 12 Hexagon to make a sphere.

SAFETY NOTICE

Polyhedron

While playing with Nanodots and learning through lots of Tutorial videos from YouTube, I realized lots of big words that they used. Since I am NOT a mathematician, I decided to Google up what each of these words mean....

Polyhedron is a three-dimensional solid which consists of a collection of polygons, usually joined at their edges.

However the interesting part is not the polyhedron, but all the other polyhedron that exist. The following is the list

No of Faces	Polyhedron
4	tetrahedron
5	pentahedron
6	hexahedron
7	heptahedron
8	octahedron
9	nonahedron
10	decahedron
11	undecahedron
12	dodecahedron
14	tetradecahedron
20	icosahedron
24	icositetrahedron
30	triacontahedron
32	icosidodecahedron
60	hexecontahedron
90	enneacontahedron

Safety Technology in every Nanodot Colour (AversiveTech™)

The product of two years worth of development, AversiveTech™ is the first oral aversive for magnets. The patent pending process fuses Denatonium Benzonate, the most bitter substance known to man, with magnets in such a way that maintains effectiveness while withstanding regular use. It is designed to deter the mouthing of magnets by sending a sharp bitter signal to the brain.

Research has shown that infants are particularly sensitive to bitter tastes. In fact, we have a natural aversion for bitterness; our bodies use it as a chemical identifier of potential poisons or dangers in our environment.
