Re: [papercreters] Re: Hello!

The peel pattern for the star dome (from the site you referenced) is:

which is identical to the peel pattern for the hemispherical truncation of the Icosaicosadodecahedron (the darker lines).

The star dome adds more pipes instead of the stretcher ropes, to get the same effect by using twice as much pipe. You would have to price rope vs. pipe to see which method would be cheaper.

Many options for domes out there -   I was recently impressed by star domes that a friend was making.  The main site is in japanese, and has a poor english translation, but there are other sites out there with good english instructions.  This site seems to be a good resource:  http://housing.byrene.com/Star_Dome
