5v Mexican method assembly diagram

 

The same pattern is repeated 4 times.

Notice how each level is made of the same strut.

Bend angles for pipe or EMT geodesic domes can be rounded to the nearest degree

Bend angles for timber domes should be rounded to the nearest tenth of a degree (or 1 decimal point)

 

For a 5V 1/2 Mexican Method geodesic dome you need:

 

12 X “A” (ends bent or cut at 12.6°)

24 X “B” (ends bent or cut at 12.4°)

36 X “C” (ends bent or cut at 11.7°)

48 X “D” (ends bent or cut at 10.6°)

40 X “E” (ends bent or cut at 9.0°)
