Lego sphere

how to build a lego ball with studs all around

So I made 3 different designs based on the original lowell sphere. The first one looks no different from a regular 4x4 lowell sphere but instead of 24 1x2 jumper plates it uses only 12 2x2 jumper plates. It also doesn't require 24 corner plates which are pretty scarce in my collection. The second one is an adorable 3x3 lowell sphere. That one would actually be very easy to make with the new 3x3 "Flickr: Explore!" But I don't have any of those. So the inside structure is very important. It's…

Lowell Sphere Insrtuctions at www.brucelowell.com I figured I should finally put instructions for the original sphere on Flickr, so here it is.

Other than a grainy, poorly lit photo. :) The upside is that the rings are flush with one another at the intersection points, thanks to the plate hinges attached below the bricks. The downside is that the points where the rings meet has no attachment point, as they're joint spots. If that makes sense. Could be useful if someone far smarter than I were to apply it somehow.

Today we're discussing 3 ways to create spheres in LEGO. They are as follows: 1. using inverted dishes, flower studs and SNOT bricks to create small spheres, by umamen on Flickr: https://www.flickr.com/photos/umamen/23999220611/ 2. using SNOT bricks, plates and jumpers plates to create a studded, rounded sphere, by Bruce Lowell: http://www.brucelowell.com/lowell-sphere/instructions/ 3. using SNOT bricks to position curved slopes to create smooth, rounded spheres, by JaydenIrwin on…

I have to blame this on Joe and Trip at my local LEGO store and Brian D'Agostine [ flickr.com/photos/dagsbricks/ ]. Joe and Trip had some time one night so they build a golf club, golf ball and practice hole. I was in the following evening and some of the folks in the store were playing with the set. I love miniature golf so I gave it a try thinking, "Yeah right, like a LEGO golf ball will actually roll where you want it." I then proceded to put the ball in the hole from 8 feet. I was…
