I'm Paulo from Brazil, and I'm just starting out in the world of geodesic domes. As part of my learning journey, I'm building a small 1/2 Icosahedron V2 dome with a 60 cm diameter. I'm using the formulas and measurements from the calculator on "acidome.ru", and I'm actually managing to put it together, but it's turning out to be quite a task!
This little dome requires 4 different strud types, 6 compound angles, and 2 triangle types. After I got started, I came across a video by Paul Robinson on YouTube where he showed a bevel method for building domes, which seemed much easier. My problem now is figuring out the bevel angles.
Does anyone know of an online calculator that can provide bevel angles for different dome frequencies and sizes? I'd really appreciate any help!
P.S. If you have any tips or advice for a newbie dome builder, I'm all ears!
