Tetra Orb
Article © MAIL User: The Mad Mailler

Making a Tetra Orb is fairly simple. A good link size is 14swg 7/16". Find that AR and you're good to go to find whatever link size you want. I used 12swg 1/2" spring steel here (was all i had). It's a bit too small, but it works.


  1. First, make a simple orbital.

  2. Now, add a second orbital, like so:

  3. And then add a third:

  4. Now add 3 rings on the orbitals, like so:

    and a side view:

  5. Looking at it from a side view, put an orbital on where 2 of the newly attached rings touch.

  6. Repeat with another set of touching rings:

  7. And repeat one last time, as shown with the galvy rings:

and that's about it. Enjoy making your Tetra Orbs!
