Nexorade...

An headache to make in reality
-
And maybe a buttache in Sketchup
However, excellent work

Wow, this is quite amazing.
How did you model it, Taff?
Have a nice day,

After spending hours developing the underlying geodesic template,...
...fitting the "follow-me" path, for the springs, was the easy part.(There are several recent online articles about "nexorades," if you're curious about the mathematical principles of the underlying template.)

Awesome. The repeating pattern of hexagons, pentagons, and triangles is mesmerizing.

Yeah, well, when that happens to me, I figure that it's time to go to bed...

Dude good job.

I doubled the "wrap" of the springs, and like the final result, better than the original.

Same methodology, but it was easier to start from scratch, on the springs, rather than try to modify the previous set.-Taff

you are truly insane. . . .

but it is such a cool model. . .

Very friggin cool, I would not be able to get my head around this if I was to try make it...way too complicated.
I'd love to see this animated and rendered, spinning as the reflections shimmer.

Actually, this model shares the geometry of the two images, below. While keeping the same underlying geometry, I can get creative with the connected "bones" of the structure.That said, devising the original geometric template did, indeed, take alot of thought, and several procedural trials, until I got it right. Once that was fait accompli, it has been more like "playing" with concepts, rather than work.
I've still got (at least) one remaining idea that I want to try, using this geometry template.

Have a nice one!

And so you try to figure out ... I am impressed with forms of mathematics

Amazing! -
see I told ya. . .INSANE!!!!
