Geodesic Disco Orb

This is a 3v geodesic sphere I made from 1/2" EMT (electrical conduit). It is 270 pieces and I used about 28 sticks of EMT including spares. The longest struts are a foot long, which makes the sphere about 4.5 feet in diameter. It weighs about 80 pounds and is very strong. It took me 3 days to finish and cost under $100, I am pretty happy with the results. It will be the centerpiece for our 32' 4V dome at Burning Flipside in Austin. (nerd included in picture for size reference =)
