A torus of cubes

It’s been a good 5 or 6 months since I last made any origami. I think that seeing the box full of origami that Heather made for her wedding in Cape Breton inspired me dig out my stash of paper when I got back to Seattle. Instead of starting small I decided to go hard core (because that’s how I do things) and made this torus of cubes. I’ve been wanting to make a torus for a really long time but the PHiZZ unit based ones are daunting and the one time I attempted one my units were too slipery. This version is made from 11 cubes constructed from 132 penultimate square modules. The torus itself is about 7 inches in diameter. It was somewhat difficult to assemble and the cube corners aren’t as crisp and clean as I would like them to be but I still think it’s FANTASTIC. The general design came from the cover of this book.
