Seirpinski Triangle 1by *SpasiantasticalMan

DescriptionDetailsShare
Download JPG 600 × 450
This is a 3-dimensional Sierpinski Triangle that I built from 351 toothpicks, Elmer's wood glue, Titebond III wood glue and 5 minute epoxy. This project took a few days to complete only because it takes a long time for the glue to set up.

Nice work there; I've been meaning to try something like this with origami... I know there are quite a few people who have done a Menger's Sponge but creating stacking cubes is much easier than stacking paper triangles. I'll have to think of a good way to cheat, i.e. wire frame, to where you don't see it.

And seeing as you like Rubik's cubes from your avatar and the three or four 3*3 cubes sitting on your desk, have you ever played around with a 4*4 or 5*5? If not, you should try to find them. Ironically, the 4*4 is the most difficult of the three sizes, mainly because there is no center color on each face.

And welcome to dA. I found my way here by way of ~Supersonic-Gabi. And if you actually build Seirpinski Triangles, you might want to check out ~javamocha and ~Rlopez10. They have quite a bit of mathematically and scientifically based art. Hope you have a good time on here!

Thank you! I like your idea of using a wire to cheat. I have seen geometric shapes put together like that very successfully. Though I have never used that method, I can faithfully say that toothpicks and glue is possibly the worst construction materials ever because of the pointed ends of the tooth picks and the set up time of the glue which all depends on how warm the air is in the room and the air flow of the room.

As for the Rubik's cubes, what you see sitting on my desk is two cubes. One is the normal 3x3 cube. The other is a unique cube called the "Fusion Cube" where two normal Rubik's Cubes are connected at one corner by two pieces. I own one 2x2 cube, two 3x3 cubes, one 5x5 cube, one fusion cube, and one Rubik's Snake puzzle, all of which I know how to solve. I don't know how to solve a 4x4 cube only because I have never tried and I do realize that they are the hardest. I will learn how to solve them eventually though but first I shall buy one. That is on my to do list. My fastest time ever of solving a 3x3 cube was around 30 seconds. My fastest time on the 5x5 cube was around 10 minutes haha. Big difference. Anyhow, I do LOVE Rubik's Cubes. Ohhhhh, and I have solved a Sudoku Cube about three or so times.

And thank you for inviting me to dA! And thank you to ~Supersonic-Gabi for leading you to my site. I will be sure to check out the two deviants that you mentioned because I love art that is based on math! Once again, thank you!!
