This project is to use the least amount of material and hardware to make an incredibly large structure, the components are intended to be scaleable, each node allows for 45 degrees range of motion, the simplest shape you can make is a pyramid, The dome uses tension cables between hexagon nodes to the cable lock to create compression force.
This simple design reduces the number of facets and compensates with cables.
The inserts are designed to be set into 1/2" PVC, cut to the length required for the intended size and shape, I am using 2 foot segments, but I do not recommend going longer then that.
Hardware required:
5x30mm screws
5mm nuts.
loos 1/32 wire cable
loos 1/32 cable stops
loos 1/32 cable crimps
6mm split rings.
all available on amazon en-mass
